Hi David,

Since I didn't see the piano, perhaps the name was also on the fallboard
and not the plate, so perhaps it was made by the same person.  The caller
also said "opus 1673" was on the plate, and didn't notice any other
serial number.  The piano was located in San Francisco, and the owner
wanted $9,000.  I think he's now decided that it may be overpriced.
