Piano Design Question

[Cy Shuster]

At least this way notes of a similar pitch (on different bridges) connect to 
the soundboard fairly close to each other, unlike that strange spinet of 
Terry's, or even a typical grand, where the lowest tenor is near the lowest 
bass.

Hello Del, Stephen, list.

This thread makes me remember an old Blüthner that I ran across, years ago.
It had some crossed strings, but not at all in the way we are used to see :
the few (4 or 5) highest bass unissons were hardly crossing over the few (4
or 5) lowest tenor ones.  Today no more than then can I understand the
purpose of this arrangement.

Best regards.
