Mystery thingees under piano

[Joseph Alkana]

Dunno. Maybe piano was in an old bar room and the pianer player kept his shotgun, rifle, hand gun and white surrender flag stored there :-)  :-)  :-)

By any chance does this piano have a really great sounding top end? I have tuned one that had an overly loud top end and the "tubes" may indeed have been installed to "funnel" the mid range sound out to balance the spectrum. Just guessing.

  I'm working on an old Geo Steck grand piano which has these strange sheet metal half-pipes installed underneath.  The  installation is obviously not original equipment, but was done neatly with custom formed sheet metal  installed with screws.

  Does anyone want to venture a guess as to what the "installer" had in mind?

  P.S.  This is not a puzzler snce I sure dont have  the answer.
