This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Terry=20 You said:"Anyone ever hear of or see a Straube Duplex Overstrung Scale = from 1930? Duplex overstrung as in plain wire angling off to the left as = in most grands, but then tenor wound strings (tri-, bi-, and monocord) = more-or-less perpendicular to the belly rail strung over the plain = wires, and wound bass strings (all monocords) strung angling off to the = right, like most modern grand pianos, over the tenor section. So the = strings are arranged on three planes. Bizarre. Didn't measure the piano, = but would be surprised if it were more than 4' 6" long." Sounds to me like what we call a "double over-strung grand". Fairly = common here in UK (we have limited space <G>) Found in pianos by = Broadwood and Ibach. The Ibach is particularly nice sounding - believe = it or not! Regards Michael G (UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
