I'm pretty
sure this is a Kimball. It couldn't cost that much to staple in a
regulation spec card in every piano, could it? (I suppose it could =
-- and
chances for error, too.). But this is the first time I've seen =
curved
backchecks. I wonder what the cost/benefits of that design =
are? At
first glance, it seems like it might be more sensitive to misalignment =
than
straight surfaces (bent in too far, and only the top edge will
catch?).</FONT></DIV>
