List, A customer inquired about a piano I have not seen. It is supposed to be a 1912 Hamburg Steinway but the plate says New York. She was told (by the dealer) that the New York factory made plates for Hamburg at that time. The dealer claims to know that it is a Hamburg by the vertical grain direction of the case veneer. He says New York ran the veneer grain horizontal. Anyone confirm or deny his claims?
