Okay, so maybe I have a little too much time on my hands this morning...  Let's see if anyone can figure out what piano this could be. <edit> - I uploaded a pic but am unable to view it in the message. If I can't get it to show up, this guessing process may take a while. <re-edit> - Sorry for dragging this out, darn customers keep interrupting me, lol! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/Piano.jpg)

Hi Tom,
Attachments usually do not work very well for some reason. All I see is a box with a red X.
Can you post a digital photo?

Rick Yeah, weird isn't it? Everything looked like it uploaded fine but clearly it didn't.

Hi Tom, This might be of help. Posting photos is one of the most confusing aspects of this forum board. I'm looking forward to checking out the Wazzit! Photo Uploades - Click Here

I just got your PM, Tom, and sent you a reply;
In the meantime, try this...
If your pic is located on a website, open it so you see the pic. Right click on the pic and select "properties". Then, copy the URL address (starting with http and ending with jpg).
Next, go to the full-reply screen on the post window. Left click on the 4th icon from the left and click "enter a non-floating image"; now, paste your pic URL address in that drop-down space bar and click OK.
You will not see your pic there, but if you click on "I want to preview this message" at the bottom of the post window, you will see it.
Good luck!

It looks like a piano, was it built in Hamburg?

The trapwork is identical to Steinway. It looks like a new Hamburg M to me.

It could be an O. That may be more likely, given the ratio of the width to the length.

With the improvements made in the NY Steinways recently, it might well be a USA built O.
That's my vote.

If so, it will be nice to know that they make the undersides with good workmanship in NY now, so that they don't have to hide it with black paint.

Using some very recent 'underside' info, I'll go for American S&S-0.

If it is a Steinway, it is Hamburg. Round holes for the lyre braces!

What do I win???? My original plan was to offer the winner a new car. That unfortunately fell through when I realized that I had neither the car nor the extra $$ to pay for a car to give away. I'm hoping you'll settle for a hearty "well done, sir!".
