Jim Something like this then? 5ft 8 Julius Bauer. It is very intentionally double crowned... as its called. FWIW...this turned out to be a big sounding parlor sized piano. Trixs cousin bought it so I still get to visit. ;) If memory serves there was a 15 mm crown along the belly rail. Click on the attachment for a better view Dale Erwin R.P.T. David, No we're not talking about the same thing. Viewed from the front of the bellyrail, there is a crown, meaning the bellyrail bows upwards forming a crown. In this small piano there is a full 11mm difference between the height of the bellyrail at the center and the height at the ends. The same with the curved side and on this one, the back of the long side as well. If you could see through the outer rim to the top surface of the inner rim, these portions also are somewhat serpentine. They, are not in a flat plane, helping to create what has been referred to as the" the most important crown in the piano", ie the "crown along the length of the long bridge. I don't agree with this obviously shaping, but that's the condition I'm referring to.
