[CAUT] Is it NY or Hamburg?

Assist springs it’s an Hamburg 

If you don’t have the metal plate around the pedal it is Hamburg

For Hamburg of those years the pinblock is not maple but beech

We have a 1920’s M here that I’m cracking open for the first time. 

 

The front key-pins are .129” and the wippen flanges have assist springs
throughout all 88 notes. 

 

The rebound cloth in the repetition windows are a very worn,
original-looking purple material, however the flange screws are obvious
replacements. The piano was overhauled in the 70’s.

 

How can I determine whether this piano was made in New York or Hamburg? 

 

Thanks,

Mark Cramer,
