Triple overstrung upright

ok... so I'm an absolutely horrid artist, but how's this for making
bass/tenor strings longer and being able to put plain wire trichords
lower in a spinet?  basically, the bass would be at a fairly acute  
angle,
with the bridge running almost vertical, instead of diagonal, and there
would be a separate upper bass bridge with several plain-wire trichords.
The tenor strings, would be greatly fanned out in the first octave or
two.

Or... does anyone have any better ideas for that size piano?  Ok.. I  
know
spinets normally aren't 68 inches wide, but I figured if I made a spinet
as wide as some older uprights are (that had the extra wide keyblocks at
each end) I would have a little more room.
