I bet they couldn't decide on a price, so they just smashed their face on the keyboard and went with whatever number came of it...

Probably about when the socket set came out to loosen plate bolts while still strung and under tension. Looks like a good candidate for becoming a piano bookcase.

It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.

Seen a few refinished pianos then finding out the "fix a few keys" turn out to be total junk. Maybe if the boat in trade had no keel... that would work!

If you read the writing on the plate, that is exactly what it says: Steinway & Sons New York Hamburg. So it is not as funny as it might seem.

Then again, there is that secret location abutting Astoria known as Hamburg. The workshop is fronted by a bakery specializing in Apfelstrudel.
