APSCO.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I had assumed, quarter sawn. I know, never assume

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I looked at their catalogue, and it doesn't
specify method of cut.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>The </STRONG>Pianotek Multilam pinblock, is flat
sawn, according to their catalogue,Is that the same as rotary sawn?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Anyway, whatever it is, it should work better than the
original.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I had never seen a piano come apart as easily as this
one.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It is not a toy piano. It is just 51" wide, 34" tall, and
