<html> <body> Hi Kent,                  The easy trade mark of Bossy design is the spruce rims that have been assembled in stepped pieces, as opposed to the continuous bent rims found in the Kimball Viennese Edition. The Viennese Editions that I have worked on, all had Renner actions. I think your client may be a victim of sales hype.

He says for all intents and purposes it is  a Bosendorfer but with the Kimball name on it. At first I figured he had a Viennese model Kimball grand that some  salesman had oversold, but he eventually got me convinced. His  description of the piano was very detailed and seemed to describe a  Bosendorfer. The man knew Roger Weisensteiner and had recently talked  to Jon Light. Light only goes back 20 years or so with the company  and knows nothing of this. This would have been from the time after Kimball bought Bosendorfer.  Does anyone know when that was? Does anyone know of any other pianos like this? There were supposedly  as many as 100 of these. The owner wishes to properly value the piano for insurance purposes.  (Yeah, I know. If it has a Kimball name on it, then it probably has a  Kimball value as well.) Thanks for any info anyone might have. Kent </blockquote></body> </html>
