Steinway O revisited

[David Love]

The cutoff bar is underneath.  What you see is just the cap that covers the
seam.  I have found it easier to cut the panel when gluing in the board
which makes clamping much more straight forward.  Then I glue in the corner,
non working part of the panel and cover the seam with a strip of whatever I
have available: a strip of maple or pine, in this case, pine.  The screws in
the cap go into the cutoff bar underneath.

Thanks for posting the picture. Is there another cutoff bar underneath? Did
you screw the top one into ribs below?

Here's a Steinway O with modifications: transition bridge (old style
connection), cut-off, modified bass bridge sans cantilever, adjustable plate
mounting system.  Vertical hitches in the plate in the treble section (not
pictured).  Plate goes in today.
