1984 Olympic commerative Kimball Baby Grand

[2223]

I bought a used Kimball Baby Grand in the Chicago area a couple years ago. The seller had a certificate, and there is a plaque inside the piano that says the piano was commissioned by the Los Angeles Olympic Organization committee. It further says the piano was made to commerate Kimball's participation in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympics. The seller also had a large photo of the placement of the 20+ piano's in the stadium. They indicated the piano may have actually been used in Los Angeles at the opening and closing ceremonies.

I did not buy or pay extra money for the piano because of this certificate. I am a little familiar with Kimball piano's and bought it because they do not demand a bigger price as a higher quality name piano.

Is anyone familiar with a Kimball's commerative piano like this?
the model # is 5250, serial number t23694

I did some research and read that Kimball used this event to promote better quality associated with Kimball's name. The article said they built these commerative piano's with a higher level of quality then previously used. I am aware that Kimball primarily built furniture.
I have had no problems with the piano after a good tuning. As an occassional piano player it is not the best or worst sounding piano I have ever played.

Thanks for any comments.
