Yeah, you could do that with a spinet. The board in front takes the weight, the one in back balances against the plate.

But I sure as hell wouldn't. 2X4s are too soft to trust the screws to hold.

Apental Piano - Harmony Restored to Equal Temperament

Richard Haigh writes:
"I built this piano primarily to test the idea that eliminating the fifth harmonic from the sound would reduce some of the discordant effects of tuning any keyboard instrument to ET, which is generally accepted as the best compromise for instruments being used for music played in any key."

Hi Brian, nice to see you again!

In that huge gorgeous room, I wonder how the piano might sound?

Photo is called "Playing a Cityscape as a Musical Score"

quote:
A physical model of the Dutch city of Eindhoven is rolled onto a drum and attached to a piano, so that its buildings hit the piano keys in a specific rhythm and the physical pattern of the city becomes expressed into a unique sound.
