The only piano I've seen of this description was one that a hobbyist had assembled from a big pile of junk pianos in a dump. The case, keys and action all came from different pianos, and as there weren't enough strings left he'd made two strings per note instead of three, and had salvaged a bunch of bass strings and made them fit. I wish now I'd been able to photograph it... It would have made a great article for the Journal as to what lengths people will go to just to own a piano!
