We have two 1917 A-3's at home. One is original, and the very leftmost part of the decal is 18 7/8" from the inside of the straight side of the rim. Measuring on across, the rightmost part is about 30 3/8" from the [same] rim. That's running the tape pretty much across Nicholas II and Umberto I. The bottom is 1" from the rear of the damper guide rail.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">When we rebuilt the other piano, we moved the decal about 3/8" to the left, and about 1/2" towards the tail, because we thought it looked better.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Bob Davis</FONT></DIV><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">See what's free at <A title="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" href="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" target="_blank">AOL.com</A>. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
