That's an interesting square. Unless the image has been mirror-flipped, the wider end is opposite most squares. If the photo is oriented correctly, I'd be interested in seeing the string arrangement.

The Gothic text over the picture on the wall above does not appear to have been mirror-revesed.

All three of these ROCK, OT! That Linke screams "Zorba"! The Schiedmayer is gorgeous! But I think of the 3, I really like this S&S the best, the wood is the stuff dreams are made of...

My wife would tell you "Don't encourage him." Besides, it isn't for sale...

1870 Schiedmayer Grand Piano. Never heard of it, but it shore is purdy.

The last I heard of the Scheidmayer Grands, is that they were still being built by Ibach. But that was about three or fower years ago, back when I was looking at a 183cm Schiedmayer that was for sale here.

Up until they were being made by Ibach, Schiedmayer had the distinction of being one of the world's oldest manufacturers. Ibach used to maintain a page on their website outlining a history of Scheidmayer, but when I checked yesterday, it was gone.

I did, however, find this creature on Ibach's pages. Not sure if it's been posted here before or not. It's certainly different, but I'm not saying I like it.

Judging by the legs, isn't it a fair bet the one on the left is a Bosie?

There ought to be a law against painting grands like that.

I'm just sayin'...
