---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Alexander, Is that the tuning pins I see on the UNDERSIDE of the pin block? If not, whither might they be? Looks like the whole thing is upside down. Dave Stahl In a message dated 2/8/05 4:56:58 AM Pacific Standard Time, terry@farrellpiano.com writes: YIKES! 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!
