More info: I asked Terry's question to technicalsupport@schulzepollman.com. Terry's question was what happens to the material that is cut away from the back of Schulze Pollmann pianos when the one-piece back is manufactured? Here's the response I got: Dear Sig. Neuman, this valuable material being much and expensive one, is used on several the products of our production. In particular these you leave come red-use for several members of the pianoforte same is upright that grand. Thanks I'm still trying to understand it. He says the material is valuable, so they use in their other products. I dont' get what comes after "In particular..." I think he's saying that it is reused for upright and grand pianos. If anyone on the list speaks Italian, they might understand more what this person is trying to say. In any event, I don't think we got anything much more specific than "it is reused".
