Above: The cabinet was modified like many older verticals, the toes were cut off, the legs replaced with spindly independent ones; the ornamentation removed. Below: Similar Th. Steinweg Vertical #568 in Spain without cabinet modification; #645 cabinet was “streamlined”, originally it probably looked more like #568. Internal design is identical. |
