Unusual Hamburg S&S O

[Calin Tantareanu]

I have also seen Steinways where the case was built-up on the outside to
make it  squarish (like in the Bosendorfer 290 concert grand). I think these
were special-order pianos.
The plate should be the normal shape though.

Hi Listees,

Attached is a picture of an unusual piano - reportedly a 1920s Hamburg
Steinway model O. It is also reportedly a player. I will be inspecting it in
the near future for some rebuilding tasks. I've simply never seen one quite
like this - it appears to have oak veneers - the owner claims it is solid
oak, but we've all heard that before. Anyone have any background information
on pianos like this that they might care to share?

Thanks.
