Non-overstrung pianos (was Re: Rippen opinions, pleaseA friend of mine who
believes in the straight bridge, like to build a modern banana piano , he
say he design an "uncrossed strung" piano (don't know if that make sense in
English)

Interesting to  to see the efforts to have a lenticular soundboard, straight
bridge AND straight strike line.

      Or should we just use non-overstrung piano having all strings in a

flat strung.

    I propose a completely different term... one that I think clearly
exhasperates upon us its reasonablness.


    Fanned Strung


  Del, Richard,


  If it were a matter of establishing terminology to supposedly eliminate
confusion in the piano industry, non-overstrung would simply be the best
description, no ifs and or buts. It embraces all of the following:


  Straight strung
  Flat strung
  Fanned strung


  And other than comprising more syllables and a hyphen, it seems hardly
less inconvenient to use.
