Square ears : N.Y. - round ears : Hamburg. (I've seen on NY "C" with rouded edges and a little slant on the aprt left/right the stretcher, wander if it was a modification made by a refinisher, I can send pics. Bon d'accord, ça se dit "les oreilles" en Français - right & left side of the front case Very Thick backcheck leathers nubuck : NY (generally never changed as it is not necessary :) assist springs : NY Padded wipen cushion with a little felt around : N.Y. Rounded dowels on balance rail, NY Slanted wippen heel NY or Hamburg round domes around the round apertures of the plate : N.Y. White T-shirt with a red heart : N.Y. Inflated engine turbo compressed : N.Y. Large decal on the soundboard : NY or Hamburg first half of the century more or less (what century ?) is it true ? On most (recent ?) Germans, it is written only Hamburg on the plate, capodastro part, on NY ones it is written "New York , Hamburg". the list goes on .. I have yet a B (1907) these days I can't say if it cames from NY or Hamburg (not me unfortunately, but I tune it !) I hardly look for a Killer zone on that one (and there is plenty of apparent downbearing on the whole treble, more than usual ) Does not certainly need to have a new board screwed in, for that matter. The tone is astonishing , get a full repair recently, all in Renner replacement parts. Greetings Isaac OLEG Entretien et réparation de pianos.

Regards Michael G (UK) What piano are you talking about? I notice that several people have requested that you copy a small snippet of the relevant post into your replies (as I just did above), so we'll know what you're referring to, and that you still don't.
