looks like it might be a little top-heavy..

Now this one looks really funny. Ron, do you know anything about this piano, why it was constructed and what the intention of the manufactorer was? How does it sound? On the first sight the design doesn't look too bad. One big bridge for all strings, no tenor break. One drawback would probably be the strange hammer line and action ratio problems throughout the scale. Jens | |||

Ron Tuner I think the first pic shown is elegant. I surely would like one that looked similar rather than a big black box staring at me whenever I walked into the room (as in old uprights and the newer ones even more) Roberta

The path for "twinkle toes", I suppose?

And while we're on an outdoors theme:  By the way, google has been a big help, though from years of reading the piano technician's list at ptg.org, I've got a bunch more!

I was just wondering, since you seem to be familiar with these types of pianos, how are the dampers set up? Is it similar to the overdamper, or "birdcage" pianos?

rontuner - enjoying the thread. Might I suggest Unusual Piano of the Day? | |||

I'm not sure I want to set myself up for that job! Anyone else feel free to go hunting...

That was just my way of saying "Keep 'em coming". | |||

Oh! In that case, here's a bonus for today!

Oh sure, you get me all worked up and then I can't see the picture. Tease. | |||

Ron, is that a Rippen aluminum grand? Ever seen one in real life? Jens | |||
