I have a regular client w/a Mehlin Grand, about 6' or so. Every time I tune it, I can't keep from musing about how weird it's design is. Any one have any clues as to what the original design was supposed to accomplish? Like the Plate: it angles up towards the tail, making the elevation for the bridges waaaaay over the top. The tone is even weird. Doesn't sound like any other piano I've encountered. Even the case design(s) are totally against the conventional designs of the times. Almost a Chinese Puzzle Box sort of thang. Odd curves to the cheeks. Nothing "normal" anywhere. Even the pedals are weird. The piano is, overall, large, almost massive in aesthetics, but the pedals are these skinny delicate things. Just Weird.<G> Happy Saturday, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
