Hi Dave: There have been several pianos over the years which have used hex core thoughout the bass section. A notable good example is the Fazer (Fahtzer) piano made in Europe. I have seen 7'4 Grotrian Steinweg pianos with hex core. Nice sound. In the 50's Gulbransen made 6' grands with hex core bass. Jim Coleman, Sr.
