Hi folks 168 cm from the front of the stretcher to the back of the pianolid. (lid edge is about 4.5 cm from the back of the case) Serial number 72727 no model letter visable anywhere... but it says "Ebonized" where the model letter usually is. Its an old puppy... pre 1900 me thinks. Rounded ends. 3 bridges... tenor is forward and disjunct with the long bridge... a short peice of wood connects the two for some reason. Lots of writing cast into the frame... rilled border... Overstrung patents from late 1800's along with the usual Steinway, New York and Hamburg just behind the high treble written on the plate. A wood brace from the belly rail to the rim on the underside running right past the bell..... in what looks forbausenede like an early tension bar as sold by Pianotech these days. Anyone able to indentifiy the model and age with this much (little) to go on ? Cheers RicB
