2 meter piano

[Ric Brekne]

Hi there Stephane

Now this is an interesting response to an off the wall question. :)  Why 
13 layers of shellac... and would that be on the soundboard or the 
case... or both ?  And why exactly 233 for the longest string ?

More depth is definantly called for here !! :)

Cheers

/Hello Ric.

Unfortunately I have no answer to your question.

But my ideal piano would have :

233 cm speaking length of largest string
144 cm width of the keyboard
89 notes (with one impossible to play)
55 of those with dempers (starting at the low end)
34 of those without dempers
21 bass notes with wound strings
13 layers of shellac
8 ribs
5 potential buyers
3 legs
2 pedals
1 pianist in front
and maybe 1 audience attending (but not necessarily)

I also wonder why you don't find such ones around the corner.

Best regards.

Stéphane Collin./
