That is a 1913 M&H 52" upright that got a full Del Fandrich belly = redesign (the bridges are new to accommodate the new string scale). Why are the backside pins notched like the front? Wouldn't seem like it = would really be necessary unless you have a sounding duplex. Just = wondering ... Ummmmmmm........ so that it doesn't look like a Winter spinet? I'm not = sure what you mean. Are you asking why they are notched at all on the = backside (or why are they notched in that manner)? Well, I know the = marketing answer to that one - because all high quality pianos are = notched on the backside. Maybe just like all high quality pianos have a = solid spruce soundboard - that's how you can tell it is a very high = quality piano - just look at the soundboard on that Fazioli - and = gee-whizz, that Janssen spinet also has a solid spruce soundboard - so = much for that theory! Bottom line answer: I don't know. That's how the original was done and I = certainly didn't want to change anything the original masters did! Okay, okay, I'll shut up now with my smarty...........
