Stories . . . I once found a huge, really huge, diamond ring in a Steinway L. It had been taped to the under side of the plate, and I dislodged it while cleaning. When I handed it to the piano owner, she was shocked, saying she had totally forgotten about the ring and the guy who had given it to her. How could a guy who gave such a huge ring be that forgettable? D On Feb 14, 2010, at 3:18 PM, Marshall Gisondi wrote: > Hey everyone, > wow 1860s air.

I did find some cob webs that were so thick by the pedal linkage and trap work I couln't hardly get to the pedal system. When I find my first million in a piano I"ll take us all to dinner.
