Hi Bill Not really flat strung. The transition bridge is much higher then the bass bridge. 3 string planes. I will go back and take a few more pics with my regular camera to show the whole thing better. Julius Bluthner... dont know the date. Length was around 185 but I didnt measure. I was just there for a few minutes to fix a small pedal problem. But I <<had>> to take a peek inside. More later on this one. Cheers RicB Hears one for you all.... Ran into this a couple weeks back... sorry bout the foto quality, taken with my Nokia N70 cellphone. Notice the placement of the transition bridge. Cheers RicB Richard, It's flatstrung and has a long plate rib/strut paralleling the long bridge like an early Steinway (early 1870s), do you mind sharing the piano make and length? Bill Shull
