Soundboard floating - an idea whose time has come (Modified by KentSwafford)

[Calin Tantareanu]

Interesting. This is the first overstrung grand piano that I see, with an 
original floating soundboard.
I was wondering though, why is the bass bridge still cantilevered? What's 
the need?
Maybe it has something to do with the weird rib direction?

Thanks for sharing the pictures.
