9' Knabe anyone??

[Stéphane Collin]

Agreed, Thump.

This looks like a nice cheap job.  The piano deserves something finer, 
methink.  While I have seen more often that the legs and the sculptures are 
stained in a uniform shade darker than the veneer on the case.  Don't know 
if this is usual / original.  On older European pianos, you see often that 
they tried to imitate the veneer grain on the legs by painting veins on 
those.  I would like to acquire this skill.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin.
