<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Howdy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just serviced a 15 year old KG-2. While I
was underneath the piano taking care of noisy trapwork, I noticed a crack all
the way around the rim. It looks like it is between the inner(?) and
outer(?) rim. In some places I could easy insert my feeler gauge 1" or
more. Unfortunately, I had left my camera in my shop, but the piano's
owner let me use her camera phone to take pictures. Sorry about the
picture quality--hope you can see. I would like opinions--is the
piano in trouble? Should it be fixed? How?</FONT></DIV>
