Not too long ago, there was discussion on this list about Charles Frederick
Stein, the scale designer and piano builder.  This week I saw one of the CF
Steins in my clientel.  This one is a 6 foot 1 inch grand.  Stein had a
factory in Chicago; I serve Chicago's northern suburbs so I see more of
these than most of you.  This was built about 1930, and had some rebuilding
work done, probably in the 1980s.  It now has Schaff bass strings, a newer
pinblock, hammers and shanks.  It is a very nice piano, not much out of the
norm.  I am not sure about sending photo files in a smaller size, so I will
try sending the seven I have one at a time with comments.  This first is
just the fallboard decal.
