The C-109 is a rather small piano, I'd go for a bigger model if possible, but I'd still buy one ahead of an Alex Steinbach if that is what your budget is limited to. Re: Alex Steinbach vs. Yamaha #151340. Poser 4 free download.
I have hosted some pictures of typical detail on the following pages: http://home.hccnet.nl/m.savelsberg/steinbach.html
Most interesting detail is a serial number (10114) stamped on the soundboard and a shield with the latin text: Nihil sine Deo.
Filling out this serial number on http://www.pianos.co.uk/info/pianos/s/steinbach_c.php gives me a production date somewhere after 1925 for the STEINBACH PIANO MFG. CO. Turin, Italy. Could this be true or is this piano another Steinbach?
