I think that I have heard of some pianos that had up-side-down = soundboards, i.e. strung on the bottom side. Can I assume this is one? = Wow, very intersting. Appears that the board is ribbed much like a = square grand with thin flat ribs. Also appears to have a monster bass = cut-off bar and a fish! Any more photos? Any more details? Anyone else know of any details = regarding this most unusual design? Is the date accurate? Did pianos have seven full octaves in 1845? Thanks for sharing!
