Old broadwood uprights are always interesting to encounter - they experimented so much! Today I checked out a Broadwood cottate upright from about 1886 and was fascinated byh the treble stringing patters. Also the little cloth sleeves in the bass strings where they pass over the top bridge pins (and the wound length going right over the bass bridge). Also the ncie feature of the high treble wippens having extra mass to compensate for not having the weight of dampers there. This old cottage-type upright has continuous flanges, and appears to have no metal frame at all. Best regards, David. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
