How does one tell if a Steinway is from Hamburg? A friend of mine, now deceased, always claimed his "B" was a Hamburg Steinway (Off of a cruise ship). His family is now having problems proving this to potential buyers. I've always heard that the Hamburgs had a button lid lock in the side curve. This one doesn't. I've also heard that there is a different profile on the side of the keyboard. Is this true? Can you tell from the serial number (476778)? Any other differences? I'd appreciate your input. Phil Ryan
