<HTML><HTML>List I have been hired to recondition an old baby grand recently bought by my cli= ent. The client is interested in knowing the manufacturer of the piano.&nbsp= ; There is no fallboard decal since it was refinished some time ago and the= refinisher didn't replace it.  There is no name or serial number anyw= here on the piano but there is a raised letter 'K' down at the bass end of t= he plate.   The K is not in ornate script or anything.  It'= s just a small K in a plain font.  (if I may use that word in this con= text) It doesn't look like a 'monogram' letter, rather a model number perhap= s (not even painted black, just a raised letter 'K').  The client thinks it stands for Knabe, but there is a dome-like swelling on = the plate in the far treble which reminds me of a few old Kimballs I've work= ed on.  What other design elements might I use to confirm that it migh= t be a Kimball? Or perhaps does anyone out there know of a manufacturer who made model 'K's?=   (It's a grand, not an upright, so it ain't a S&S Model K) Or is = that letter actually a monogram of the manufacturer?  The K is down at= the foot of the piano, down by the ends of the bass strings. Any ideas? Tom Sivak Chicago</HTML>
