Dear Rob,

Being in Philly, we come across this piano on a regular basis, (it was built 
here) and you are absolutely right about the quality of construction. In 
fact, I have never heard a better sounding 6'1" piano than a rosewood 1897 
Schomacker that we rebuilt a few years back.

If the strings are original they were wound with gold instead of copper.

Thanks for the post.
