Bernhard Steiner is currently owned by Samick. I think the piano was made in 2001 but the decoding of the serial number doesn't make sense, (KJKJG0141). Wouldn't KJKJ be 1011/1011? Anyway, attached is a photo of the plate showing the left side right under the music desk. Notice that the paint is peeling up in a very large and thick sheet across the curve of the plate. Has anyone else ever seen this? What did you do to correct, or fix, the problem. I'm thinking that if we can't get the store that sold it, (rumored to be out of business), or Samick to cover it under warranty then perhaps some never-fail CA glue. But... I'm open to suggestions. </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=078421501-19102007></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=078421501-19102007>-- Geoff Sykes</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=078421501-19102007>-- Los Angeles</SPAN></FONT></DIV><BR> <P><FONT size=2>No virus found in this outgoing message.<BR>Checked by AVG Free Edition.<BR>Version: 7.5.488 / Virus Database: 269.15.1/1078 - Release Date: 10/18/2007 5:47 PM<BR></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></P><BR> <P><FONT size=2>No virus found in this incoming message.<BR>Checked by AVG Free Edition.<BR>Version: 7.5.488 / Virus Database: 269.15.1/1078 - Release Date: 10/18/2007 5:47 PM<BR></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>No virus found in this outgoing message.<BR> Checked by AVG Free Edition.<BR> Version: 7.5.488 / Virus Database: 269.15.3/1082 - Release Date: 10/20/2007 2:59 PM<BR> </FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> </FONT> </P>
