Velvet?

[Jim Dally]

I have a console that is covered with plastic?  Has a small mirror above the
keys.  It has decorative upholstery tacks all over and, amazingly, had a
large letter "A" inside a circle on the front panel; all done with
upholstery tacks.  No wood shows on the piano.  It appears to be nicely done
but very very unusual to me.  Has anyone seen one of these?  Jim Dally
