Sometime not absolutely sure and it is better to ask the factory (by Email I
understand they are willing to help).

Square ears : N.Y. - round ears : Hamburg. (I've seen on NY "C" with rouded
edges and a little slant on the aprt left/right the stretcher, wander if it
was a modification made by a refinisher, I can send pics.

Bon d'accord, ça se dit "les oreilles" en Français - right & left side of
the front case

Very Thick backcheck leathers nubuck : NY (generally never changed as it is
not necessary :)
assist springs : NY
Padded wipen cushion with a little felt around : N.Y.
Rounded dowels on balance rail, NY
Slanted wippen heel NY or Hamburg
round domes around the round apertures of the plate : N.Y.

White T-shirt with a red heart : N.Y.
Inflated engine turbo compressed : N.Y.


Large decal on the soundboard : NY or Hamburg first half of the century more
or less (what century ?) is it true ?
On most (recent ?) Germans, it is written only Hamburg on the plate,
capodastro part, on NY ones it is written "New York , Hamburg".

the list goes on ..
I have yet a B (1907) these days I can't say if it cames from NY or Hamburg
(not me unfortunately, but I tune it !)
I hardly look for a Killer zone on that one (and there is plenty of apparent
downbearing on the whole treble, more than usual )
Does not certainly need to have a new board screwed in, for that matter. The
tone is astonishing , get a full repair recently, all in Renner replacement
parts.

Greetings

  Hello Bob Davis
  This is a new thread. The S&S refers to Steinway & Sons. As for my not
giving a snippet - yes I am guilty (slap on wrist!) I am now  using
"Forward" instead of using "Reply" when responding to messages on which I
wish to voice my opinion - so I hope my input improves in understanding (if
not quality!)
  Regards

  p.s. Did the whole message appear? If not I'll have to try again!

    Hello List
    Does anyone know how to tell whether that beautiful S&S beast was made
in NY or in Hamburg?

  What piano are you talking about? I notice that several people have
requested that you copy a small snippet of the relevant post into your
replies (as I just did above), so we'll know what you're referring to, and
that you still don't.
