<< Del, I once saw a piano with a concrete rim.  Yeah, that's right, a
 molded concrete rim.  The "piano" part was junk so quality was no
 evaluatable.
 
 In light of the above I would appreciate your thoughts on such a
 construction.

I would like any comments about "built" rims for lack a better word.  I once 
had two late 19th century Webers in my shop side by side the same piano 
except for one had a bent rim case and the other had a built up case.  The 
latter sounded much better.  Just looking for any thoughts on the matter.
