>    List, I went to the house of a man yesterday, who has a Steinway Style 
>2, 7'3" grand for sale.  It needs completely rebuilt.  Pictures are 
>available, if desired.
>    The serial number is #33450.  Funny thing is, that someone has changed 
>the number in the places that one would know to look (the keyslip, the front 
>of the action frame, they put it on the open faced pinblock, and on the 
>stretcher board above the bass strings, upside down no less), but they 
>didn't change the numbers on the inside of the cheek blocks, or on the 
>underside of the fallboard.  What they did was add a 1 to the other numbers, 
>making it look like it is a 1908, when in reality, it is an 1876.  He called 
>it a Centennial Edition (I really don't know about that, but I could 
>envision a very beautiful instrument if re-done well).  As I said, I have 
>some pictures available, if anyone wants to see them.
>    Anybody interested in a project?
