double checked the number and even found the same number in a different
location. Plus, the piano just doesn't have the signs of wear that I =
would
expect in a 55 year old piano. Also, the knee board is a thin particle =
board
contruction. I haven't seen that in real old pianos.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
