[pianotech] Keep Mehlins Weird

[Tom Driscoll]

I did have some pics of a small 1930's Mehlin grand but lost them with a machine crash.
 Anyway , floating bass and ribs that are full thickness at the rim and taper to about 3/8" in the middle. This piano is in poor shape so a judgement on the success of these designs was  clouded but it's interesting to see none the less. 
Chickering , Mehlin and a few others had true R and D it seems.
