Just recieved a Shomacker grand for rebuilding.  This is a really fine
looking piano.
everything about it is beautifully designed and executed.  It appears that
the strings 
were gold or brass plated.  It must have been a thin coating for the
strings have become
rusty.  Upon taking the strings off, the shiny new plating shows
beautifully inside the coil.

Anyone have some background info on these pianos?  A special edition of sorts?
