<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>When Falcones were made in Mass.,
they were planning on going from Stwy type rails to square (i.e., flat surfaces
on all four sides, but still maple-in-brass). Don't know if they got as
far as putting them on any pianos, but I know the rails themselves existed. <o:p></o:p></p>
