Greetings, I just became the owner of a Steinway S, # 288471. Date of manufacture is 1937, which I understand to be the second year of production. anyhow, all the S models I have seen have two notes of size 12 1/2 wire at the top of the scale, but this one starts at 13. The plate numbering is factory original,(the piano was played very little and spent the last 45 years sitting unused in a elderly person's home). Anybody know when they changed the scaling on this model?? Thanks, Ed Foote RPT www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/ www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/well_tempered_piano.html <A HREF="http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/399/six_degrees_of_tonality.html"> MP3.com: Six Degrees of Tonality</A>
