MessageNice work! What piano is that?

That is a 1913 M&H 52" upright that got a full Del Fandrich belly =
redesign (the bridges are new to accommodate the new string scale).

Why are the backside pins notched like the front? Wouldn't seem like it =
would really be necessary unless you have a sounding duplex. Just =
wondering ...

Ummmmmmm........ so that it doesn't look like a Winter spinet? I'm not =
sure what you mean. Are you asking why they are notched at all on the =
backside (or why are they notched in that manner)? Well, I know the =
marketing answer to that one - because all high quality pianos are =
notched on the backside. Maybe just like all high quality pianos have a =
solid spruce soundboard - that's how you can tell it is a very high =
quality piano - just look at the soundboard on that Fazioli - and =
gee-whizz, that Janssen spinet also has a solid spruce soundboard - so =
much for that theory!

Bottom line answer: I don't know. That's how the original was done and I =
certainly didn't want to change anything the original masters did!

Okay, okay, I'll shut up now with my smarty...........

    Agree. No need for DAG. It's yucky and messy. And keeping things =
clean, lets that quarter-sawn-medula-ray beauty shine through!
