Wurlitzer with a Yamaha soundboard????

[Isaac Sadigursky]

Hi,Ron! 
I remember late Roger Weisensteiner telling the class about
 a Steinway D rebuilt by Kimball Factory for a local church....They  called
it 'STEINBALL" piano.

I did see a Steinway M once that had a soundboard with the grain going 
parallel to the key slip. This seemed rather strange and I figured it must
be a 
laminated soundboard. It turns out the owner of the piano knew someone at 
Kimball and had the piano rebuilt and literally had a Kimball soundboard 
installed in the Steinway.

A Wurli with a Yamaha soundboard sounds more like salesmanspeak.
