This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List I thought I would add a little "je ne sais quoi" to the battle. Although = I am not a real devotee of John Broadwood they had some very = revolutionary designs. And good for them! R&D is a cause worth pursuing = - without it Ron Overs would not have developed his rather elegant new = grand action design - just to mention one. Broadwoods were very = innovative. They developed the "barless" grand, the repetition spring in = upright pianos and, the point in question now (under the = Collen-Broadwood banner) the fully agraffed strung frame. In this we = find brass agraffes throughout, not only at the top end but on the = bridge also. I cannot say I like the quality of the tone these pianos = produce but I wonder what they were like when new? These brass agraffes = are not fitted like the standard model but are attached by a screw = through a counter-sunk hole. String spacing is by the holes on one side = and string speaking-length is terminated on the rim opposite. I have not = heard any false strings on one of these yet.
