Quick little update on this. The piano was packed into a truck (moving van), supposedly with 5 or 6 blankets around it, and it stayed in there in sub frezzing temps (-10 Celsius) for 5 days. This is probably then the cause of the cracks. These cracks typically follow roughly the venner seams, and you find about the same amount of them very evenly distrubted over the whole piano. All case pieces seem equally affected. This also strengthens my suspicion that its not due to a fall, but rather the cold. I believe, tho am not sure yet.. that it is an epoxy finish. I have an email out to Knight pianos about this. Thanks for all the input folks. It is mucho appreciated. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no
