The owner told me it has the "insides made by Bosendorfer and the outside made by someone else." The veneer work = is exquisite! The top is done in quartersawn rosewood in a sunburst pattern = of at least 3 dozen matched pieces. The rim is done in fans of matched = rosewood framed and repeated. She had it "rebuilt" by someone she could = finally afford "for about $800.00." Sad. I don't have all the details, but I = feel badly for the client. The "refinishing" does not do justice to = the beautiful and talented work of the case maker. The "insides" = were not replaced, just cleaned with very little regulating, no voicing-oversize = pins and new strings. I know I'm off on a tangent here. I'm sorry. It's maddening = to see what people can be told by "technicians" with a silver tongue. = Anyway. Does anyone have or had any experience and background on this piano? I = didn't have time to explore the "insides" but I'm sure I'll see it again.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Paul Chick = RPT</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
