  Hi Phil,
  During the last part of George Steck's life his obsession was to =
design a piano that would hold tune almost indefinitely.  He tried a lot =
of things including  radically heavy bracing and attaching the plate to =
the structure every place he thought it would help.  Too bad he did not =
live longer.

Are you kidding?! By now we'd have cast iron rims, cast iron keybeds, =
cast iron bellyrails, cast iron bracing and, probably, cast iron =
soundboards.=20

You see, I've remanufactured a few Steck pianos--I know where he was =
headed with this obsession. All he needed to do was to team up with =
Kranich & Bach and he could have had cast iron keyframes as well.
