Dear listed ones, I examined the strangest of curiosities today. I've come across a double overstrung grand but never in my life would I have thought that I'd see a double overstrung upright. But today was one better, a triple overstrung upright. It is an 1880's Neumeyer (German) with a French crank type action. The first 5 notes in the upper bass are overstrung over the low tenor; the rest of the bichords are then overstrung over these two layers and then the 11 remaining low bass singles are overstrung over these 3 layers. Each "layer" has it's own separate bridge. What an amazing whopping, thumping bass this piano has. There is a large bass cutoff with no filler panel. The extreme bass bridge is about 2 inches high and sits on stilts. Anyone need pics? Regards Alan Forsyth Edinburgh
