6 pictures for you

Well it's either that or the hammer shanks in the bass are much shorter. Hard to tell when it's not a 3D picture.

The perspective of the deceptive is only receptive to the perceptive.,

  What makes anyone think this piano has an overstrung-type action? I looks to me this action was made specifically for this piano.

    Possibly the company was tight for money, and was just using parts they found around.
    There was a company up here, and according to the serial number, the piano was from the early 30's, and I believe it was straight strung, or possibly open faced, I can't quite remember. The company had gone bankrupt, and the employees were trying to make a go of it themselves. I believe they just used anything they found to make a few more pianos. Didn't work, as they folded anyway.

      Why would they use an overstrung type action in a straight strung piano? There is no need for the bass section hammers to be out of line with the treble.
