This is the method Steinway in NY has adopted for the protection of the pianos during manufacturing. Simple, cheap, but very affective.

Pretty cool idea!! Oh yeah, the piano looks pretty nice too!

I like how the dark panel in the cutoff turned out. The case is veneered in some very nice "flamed" mahogany. I found some veneers very similar and veneered a piece of plywood for the insert. Stained it to match the case. I really like working with the panel with the cut-out part cut off. On this soundboard I even cut the fish extra off. Just more compact - easier to rib, etc. - and easier to glue - I can put some nice C-clamps on the cutoff/panel joint. Here's how it looks strung. I guess you could try something different each time till you find a combo you like! Terry Farrell On Apr 1, 2010, at 9:27 AM, David Love wrote: Terry: Which piano is that?
