Hi David,
I have some experience with Schillers, you probably also noticed the lack of
beams underneath and the extra heavy duty cast iton plate on top.
The piano is a Julius Bauer design and although similar in some respects to
the Juluis Bauer pianos it is different and unique in it's own way.
How old is it?

Mike
