An odd soundboard reply

[pianoman]

Hi Kevin,
	 I have seen and restrung one of these   pianos in the early 70's and
other than being unusual, and obviously a well made but unusual design with
its own pitfalls I don't remember much more about it.  It was sold from my
employer to a fellow and I tuned it once after delivery and have not seen
it since.  Sorry I don't have more info.
