Re: Steinway OHello Ron!
I'd like to see the pictures too.=20
Regarding backscale: what you say seems very logical, but I never had =
the opportunity to really experiment with this.
I won't do any redesign work on this Steinway, but I might do some on =
the much older Schweighofer that I have. That one is a good candinate =
for a rescaled bass and maybe a new bass bridge, if not more.
Please read below:
. . . I am already impressed with its bass, which is damn good for a =
180cm piano.
It's a really strong typically Seinway bass, you could even say =
rough ;-)
Very likely!
What do you mean? What's the cause?
While the instrument might seem to be performing well in the low bass, =
it would be even better if the speaking length was 4 - 5 cm shorter with =
a correspondingly increased back scale.
On the Bechstein model A which is only about 4-5cm longer than teh =
Steinway O, the backscale was much longer, yet the lowest notes weren't =
better than on the Steinway. Maybe it's the board?
Too stiff, or what else?
