Another oldie... that makes the count something like 15 to 2 so far... 
not counting the old rim/new panel  hubrid Dale mentioned.

This is another interesting point... O's being mentioned.  I remember a 
while back some discussions about the O scale.... how bad it 
was...specially in the bass... how much improvement one could make in 
this piano by rescaling it.  Yet here we are finding it named sevral 
times as possessing the sound to die for.
