I got this picture from a freind who's having some touchweight problems. Struck me as an awfully lot of tail thickness (wood), and just didnt look quite like I remember NY Steinways looking. Wrong colour inner felt for one thing. Just a bit too red... reminded me of these Ronsens I have had laying around forever.  Maybe its the picture.. I'll ask him about the name. Obviously no felt wire or staples here tho. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
