Hmmmmm. I had the assumption that a new piano design incorporated a new =
design for a plate to compliment the rest of the belly....

    Looks like a gem Ron. Hard maple beams, belly rail & rim - man, =
that's gotta be one heckuva solid foundation! One question though. A =
fish, or treble cut-off, may be used to reduce the area of soundboard in =
the treble area of an existing instrument. But if designing and building =
a piano from scratch, and knowing of the desired =
reduced-compared-to-traditional soundboard area in the treble, what =
reason would there be to build the rim to traditional dimensions and add =
a fish, rather than simply altering the shape of the rim during design & =
building to reflect the desired smaller treble soundboard area - and =
hence not needing a fish?

    To accommodate the plate, I bet. New design or not.

    The only reason I can think of is "because pianos are supposed to =
look like that." And I suppose a rim adjusted to reflect the smaller =
treble soundboard area would inspire too many questions?
