Hi John

Thanks to you and others for the tip on the C&A thing.

I did get to hear the concert, sat back stage on the side. He played all
new stuff from an album I guess he is just about to release. It was all
pretty nice stuff, lots of it very reminiscent of that same old Nei we
all knew and loved back in the late 60's. He seemed like a real easy
going guy... had the arrangers real nervous tho... turned up an hour and
a half late for sound check cause he was enjoying golfing so much he
decided to take second nine.... or somthing of that nature :)

Cheers

  The number "410" is probably the Steinway C&A department number. I'd
  guess it was either a rental or was purchased from them and they
  didn't remove the C&A number and give it it's "real" serial number,
  which I've seen happen before. That number would probably have been
  stamped on the front of the key frame if no where else. That method
  of putting the legs on is the one they use in the factory and the
  Hall as well as elsewhere. The lyre should hold the weight OK, though
  it's not my preferred method of doing it. I wouldn't try it on pianos
  other than Steinway either. Did you get to see the concert? Neil
  Young is pretty cool.                      John

   Hi Folks

  Got the call to do the Neil Young concert in town tonite. Showed up
  for
  the gig and here they have this NY S&S D with the number 410 where
  the
  serial number usually is. Didnt look all that old really, tho with
  all
  the gadgets attached... Helpenstills, Seducers, Barcas Barries... :)
  they had 4 or 5 different mic setups and in addition they had real
  mics.... I didnt get to really look all that close.

  I got to see something I'd never seen before. They rolled this thing
  on
  stage in a flight case on its long side. Stuck the back leg on, the
  right leg, and the lyre, and then tilted it right out of the case
  onto
  the lyre and back leg before tilting it over and lifting up the left
  side to get that leg on. Worked like a charm, but I'd thought the
  lyre
  would have never held up. They carry this thing all around the world
  with them.

  Anyways... in and out in 50 minutes with stage hands around didnt
  leave
  much time for inspection, but I was curious as to what the number 410

  stood for.
