However, I was under the impression that he made benches for Steinway and that they took over the works from Kim/Bos when they went out of business. Do you take the mechanisms out before your ship? It may save freight and some time at the Jansen shop. A local upholstery shop may be able to do the work, but also might be a bit pricey. Keep us informed. Joel -- Joel A.
