It is also reportedly a player. I will be inspecting it in <BR>the near future for some rebuilding tasks. I've simply never seen one quite <BR>like this - it appears to have oak veneers - the owner claims it is solid <BR>oak, but we've all heard that before. Anyone have any background information <BR>on pianos like this that they might care to share?<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>Terry Farrell</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
