No one seemed to see it or notice! Are my posts not getting through to everyone? I see them! Does no one else? I not only was a private contractor to the local Kawai dealer, we also have a very active Yamaha dealer in this area and we had two RPT's that had a Samick dealership! Good friends of mine! So I'm very conversant & knowledgable regarding asian grands and their construction and faults. I personally find it a smart concept, to string without the outer rim but then I'm sure none of you have EVER had a string, tool or other metal object slip and gouge the newly refinished inner rim of a piano you were re-stringing! Yes, I know all about covering it with various things but those things can move ot slip, think how much easier it would be if it weren't there!
