The Beauty of the Open-Faced Pinblock

[Steve Blasyak]

Hey Now,

I have a question about the picture of the sound board that is attached to the original post. Why is there a cutout in the bass section? I believe Terry Farrell posted some pictures of a sound board he had made with a similar shape a while back. Can someone please explain the unusual shape.

Inquiring minds would like to know if its not too much trouble.

Well, now you make me wonder. I have all of the photographs of this piano labeled "Bosendorfer" but I could be wrong. I did this piano some fifteen years ago.

I don't have a picture of the finished piano but I've attached one with the soundboard being glued in so you can see the shape. As I recall the piano was pre-1880s. I could probably find the build date with some searching.

Hi Del!

What kind of Boesendorfer is that, sicne it doesn't have a capo d'astro? I have never seen one without before.

Yes, aren't they, though. From an older Bosendorfer we did some time back --

See the attached.
