FYI, The Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) has a number of keyboard instruments listed at <http://www.mfa.org/artemis/results.asp?pk=10094&so=2&sd=0>. One is an 81" Cocked Hat grand of the same vintage (unfortunately this citation lacks a photo). All the more reason to give Darcy a call (heck they probably have the technology to X-ray the rim to find out just how thick the false rim is). Patrick
