I'm really disappointed and self-flagulating to find out that s/b repairs are that simple. I guess I always do things the hard way. Interesting that there aren't any tight shots of that soundboard cracking problem, huh? >This particular piano was built specifically for a famous Broadway >lyricist (who we cannot name), at his request and therefore has no serial >number. Yeah, right. I don't see any black lettering, so I would more guess that the plate has been repainted and the serial# covered up, forgotten and didn't know to look on the keybed or anywhere else.
