I once had a square piano that's only redeeming quality was the painting on
the plate.  In addition to the pinstriping there was a beautiful rose
painted in one corner and in another a very colorful bird.  Didn't I read
somewhere that Steinway once employed one or more full time wood carvers to
do legs?
