Hi Clyde, It's unmistakable. I looks like cut up pieces of flat steel welded together in the shape of a piano plate. Lots of welds, everywhere, yet all the pins, bearings, bolts, etc. in the right place. It tells me that if a man wanted to design his own piano from scratch and could weld, he could do it. I can't weld. Roger Hayden, RPT PS. I enjoyed the Allentown Convention, too. The Snyders are always a kick. And my wife can't believe how much I charged for tools. Men and their toys!!
