Later they left this style, rounded off the corner and changed the scale number the 116. These pianos were very large and wide. Both the Fisher and Steck built similar styles to this Knabe. Most were players but not all. Jack, et al, It's amazing!

I guess I've been working on too many of the reaalllyyy olde thangs and have them imbedded in what's left of my grey, (or is that gray?), matter.<G> Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
