<DIV>Hi Mark.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The piano does sound like a Hamburger (sorry, I couldn't resist). Two ways
of telling is that the name "Steinway" on the plate is in large
letters ahead of the top section tuning pins, usually raised and in a
straight line. The other clue is the key buttons, which are rounded at each end,
unlike NY Steinways which are cut almost square. The springs were common on the
smaller grands, especially 'O's .</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards, Ted</DIV>
