Is this the piano Bill had stored at Steinway, lo these many years ago when he
worked there? If it is, I saw it on it's side, partially uncovered for a quick
glimpse. We didn't get to swarm all over it and look it over like we all wanted
to, but it looked to me like a wonderful contraption - long as I didn't have to
move it.
