As I recall, Alistair Laurence made some pianos with fabric panels
on the top door, back in the 1980s.<br>

is the peirced top door with cloth on the reverse. Why on earth
piano manufacturers abandoned this principle on upright pianos
amazes me. Upright pianos are traditionally shoved against a
wall, have heavy solid panels on the front and the tone is
vastly inhibited as a result. I did see a new Steingraeber
upright with a very modern take on this idea however.</font></blockquote>
