I'm not much for modernism, but this one I think I could live with. A Gaveau apparently - if this pic is real that is...

From another forum, a Craig's list item. A 1975 Baldwin. "SpineGrand"?

Its pretty obvious WHAT this really is - but what isn't obvious to me at all is WHY?

Wow, the worst of both worlds - sounds like a spinet, but you can't put it up against a wall!

Here's one of those grands with too many legs. They usually are a bit wobbly when I go to tune them...

It could be yours Ron, for only $4500!!

Grands like your latest here just don't look trustworthy. I have reservations about holding 800-1000 lbs. with 2 inch dowels... (!)

And it has no narrow profile for moving that an ordinary grand or an ordinary spinet would have. Which would come in quite unhandy when you wanted so badly to dispose of the ugly thing.

I think Faziolis have a "soft" pedal in addition to una corda. It moves the hammers closer to the strings (like an upright) reducing blow-distance and power.
