"Apparently and like Conrad Hoffsommer wrote (he did rent the movie) it was a Broadwood square, so I was wrong. Anyway, it is hard to see that happen." Bevaert Pierre, I behoves us all to use the correct term(s), in regard to wether it is a Square Piano or A Square Grand Piano. When using the Term: "Square", that denotes a rectangular Piano, WithOut a full cast iron plate. All "Square GRANDS" are those which do have a full cast iron plate! (after 1835-40) It's been a while since I was subjected to "The Piano", but I do remember watching/rewinding/watching/rewinding and came to the conclusion that the "Piano" that they used, (if in fact there was only one and I suspect there were several!), was indeed a Broadwood Square Piano, with a short keyboard indicative of the period of around 1825-1835. The credits did list a "Piano Technician". So, if anyone can check the "credits" and possibly get his/her name....Then check with the "Technician" for actual verification, if the Tech is still alive. (He probably died during filming from the stress and stupidity of the plot, etc.) Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
