Inside the piano is a small padded rectangular thing about 5X8 inches in size with the Bosendorfer name stamped on it. What is this thing for? </BLOCKQUOTE> It keeps the half lid from smacking the the other half lid when it is folded back. Why not rubber buttons like everyone else you ask? Come on, man, we are talking about a Boesendorfer!! </HTML>
