Plaque for Piano

[Philip Jamison]

I don't like double-sided tape for piano plaques. After a while, it collects 
dust behind as it's not completely tight to the case. Also, it can sag a 
bit, especially if it gets touched or played with by kids. I've seen cheesy 
"peel-n-stick" plaques on $80,000 pianos and wished they'd done better. I'd 
go for a small (at least 1/16" thick) hand-engraved brass or even silver 
plaque screwed to the case using small flathead screws. There are a few hand 
engravers still at work. Their work is much better than the machined 
"trophy" look. Piano makers used similar plaquest on their "deluxe" 
nameboards years ago. Ever see the Knabe "Metropolitan Opera" plaques they 
put inside all their grands?
