In this evening's mail came a new copy of the Pierce Piano Atlas, 12th Edition. It lists information on dates and manufacture of literally thousands of pianos worldwide.
I'd guessed that Yuri, the new Stieff addition to our piano household was Zelda's younger brother. In fact he predates her by two years having been built in Baltimore in 1908. Now I'm going to have to do a more dignified portrait befitting his senior status instead of all of those termite shots.
Ranger's evaluation of my appraisal skills is evident in his stare -- "bad guess"!
