Terry Oh, yeah... forgot... the steel I-beam ( I guess that was a poor description for it) is pictured in pics 2a, 3a, and 4a. The flange that screws into the pinblock is L-shaped so it screws in on the underside and on the back edge. The back edge does not have metal covering it like the leading edge does (See pic 3a). Pic 4 a clearly shows the hardwood used for the rim. ( and pretty much everywhere else in the piano except for the soundboard and just behind the belly rail you see the leading edge of in 4a. I'm not 100 % up on my American terminology for things... having spent the last 25 years here... so correct any term usage needed :) Cheers RicB
