"One of my favorite features is the elimination of the tri-chords in the bass." Not to belittle Ron, but Charles M. Stieff hit upon this idea in 1895! A church in Simpsonville, SC has Stieff concert grand #12,753 (1895 according to Pierce). No sign of ever being rebuilt. The plate is bored for trichord unisons in the bass but only two holes bored in the pin block; and the bridge is pinned for two-string unisons. One more proof that great minds run in the same direction, even if a century in between! Bill Maxim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
