You haven't seen my 1899 Everett with the solid ash ( under the veneer ) case, the solid, "bowling alley" laminated rock maple keybed ( also varnished for stability/cleanabilty ), the little tabs cast into the backs of the pedals to keep mices out, the open-faced pinblock that is still tight after 106 years, and the wide-but-short case design, which allows maximum-string length and soundboard area, while mitigating action mass ( no "stickers" ). It also has a beautifully balanced action. That I can play until 5:30 A.M.. I can think of some "world-class" modern pianos that can't TOUCH this thing ! Hmphh!
