One thing I have learned about email is that whenever more than one question is posed in any given message only one of them will ever be answered. I obviously forgot that lesson with my original post. My bad. While I did received some good responses about the decoding of the serial number, my real question was really about the peeling paint. (See attached pic) Again, since the piano is only six years old were hoping to address the issue under warranty. Just the same, has anyone else ever experience this, and if yes, how did you go about repairing it?

Org Subject: Peeling paint on Samick plate Greetings all -- I was called to work on a Bernhard Steiner piano today. Bernhard Steiner is currently owned by Samick. I think the piano was made in 2001 but the decoding of the serial number doesn't make sense, (KJKJG0141). Wouldn't KJKJ be 1011/1011? Anyway, attached is a photo of the plate showing the left side right under the music desk. Notice that the paint is peeling up in a very large and thick sheet across the curve of the plate. Has anyone else ever seen this? What did you do to correct, or fix, the problem. I'm thinking that if we can't get the store that sold it, (rumored to be out of business), or Samick to cover it under warranty then perhaps some never-fail CA glue. But... I'm open to suggestions. -- Geoff Sykes -- Los Angeles No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
