Hi Phillip. As you already know, I commented on this one on CGT. I'm really honored to be an inspiration to you: I admire a lot your works with Bryce and this is really flattering. Pianos are very difficult to model, with my "Steinway" I did the same: I didn't model what the viewer couldn't see :) And, as far as modeling goes, if you look at mine you'll see that I really messed up the black keys, modeling them way more square like they are in reality. If you're interested in some very detailed reference drawings of all the parts of a Grand Piano, I have them. They're also orthographic, so you can use them to draw upon. I should have a couple of Steinway logos somewhere on my HD. Just IM me and I'll send them to you. I really want to try one in XSI, but I'm waaaaaay behind the modeling skills needed to complete such a complex work. S.
