I think that is indeed the original finish....

It looks like the legs have aged differently from the rest of the instrument.

That had occurred to me also - and may very well be the case (no pun). However, it appears to me that the case *may* have been refinished - the legs have several blemishes whereas the case seems pretty pristine. I dunno!

My wife and myself on the cruise formal nite:

Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to play the piano....

Zorba, that's a repeat.

Now tell me how far you have to go to find it.

It is. they had no warning the fire was coming, literally just happened to wake up as the fire was approaching at about 2:00am Tuesday. They had enough time to leave with four photo albums and the clothes on their backs.

They live in a really nice neighborhood - large homes on large lots. Every house surrounding them was virtually untouched. The fire either jumped to get them, or a narrow finger reached their house through the brush, it's hard to say.

I'm going up to help sift rubble as soon as Altoid's back in school.
