Overs' I-rib sound board - first info

[Overs Pianos]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Hello fellow Pianotech list subscribers,

Well they've been a long time coming, but finally I've got some 
images and accompanying text page uploaded to our site with 
preliminary info' on our new I-rib sound board design.

The first web page on the new sound board can be found at;

http://overspianos.com.au/iribbd1.html

(This web page is not yet find-able through the site index)

Quite a number of additional images are already scanned and converted 
to jpeg format, but I've got to write the notes and lay out the pages 
yet. We're getting some most encouraging feedback from the two most 
recently completed 225 Overs pianos, both of which have I-rib sound 
boards. A quality commercial recording will be made using piano no. 5 
in the not-too-distant future. This recording eventually will be 
available for purchase from a major distributor. I'll get sample 
sound files onto the website once they become available.

I would like to digress back to the 'Two-String per-note Piano' topic 
before closing. I notice that a number of you mentioned some of the 
more undesirable examples of pianos with bi-chord strung trebles. 
However, while I agree that there are some disastrous examples out 
there, I still believe that the idea has great potential. The problem 
with some of the nasty examples mentioned was that bi-chord treble 
stringing was adopted more often to make a poorly conceived and 
constructed instrument even cheaper to manufacture. However, if one 
were seriously to pursue the idea of building a quality entry level 
upright piano with bi-chord stringing, I feel sure that the concept 
would be very successful indeed. I agree with Roger Jolly that some 
of the spin-doctor salesmen would have a field day. But ultimately 
once all the dust and hype settles, ideas of worth will be seen for 
what they are, and the 'sows-ears' finally will be discarded (I hope).

Best,
Ron O.

PS
I haven't run the html code over a spell checker yet, so should any 
typos be discovered, I should be grateful to receive advice of any 
errors.

Should anyone have difficulty seeing the images, please let me know. 
This is the first page I've loaded where the images were linked 
across to my primary website space from a second web space, just 
acquired via cable subscription. It seems to work fine with Explorer 
5.2 on my Powerbook. Thanks.
