I agree with you and mostly do delete much of a previous post, 
including images, when appropriate. However, in instances where the 
discussion extends to other aspects relating to an image, it can be 
of benefit to retain the image in the response so that others can 
refer to it.

Terry,

I suspected that the grand piano might be a Knabe. In my thirty years 
of working with pianos I haven't come across one in Sydney. Very 
impressed with the layout and dimensions of the instrument. It is 
indeed a pleasure to see an instrument where the manufacturer has 
gotten serious about building a wonderful piano, as opposed to 
crowing wonderfully about the piano he/she builds.

Dale,

Interesting to see that you share my suspicions regarding 
under-engineered belly rail assemblies. Although, when a substantial 
hardwood cut-off is fitted, it can be glued to the back beams it 
crosses to provide a substantial 'bent rim', bypassing the original 
belly rail and leaving it with nothing much to do than hold the 
treble and bass sides of the rim together and support the damper 
guide rails.
