List,
    I serviced a very interesting 5' 1930? ( I left my atlas on the desk) Mehlin grand today.
    First glance was very typical small grand design. Cantilevered bass bridge but with a pretty decent backscale length. The real surprise came from below.
    The bass was floated and had a  3" wide serpentine cuttoff .
    The ribs were "reverse" tapered .
    That is the ends of each rib were around 1" thick at the rim and tapered to around 5/16 " thick in the middle. I'll bring my camera next time and pass along some images.
    Really cool design stuff. The overall condition was fair to poor and I really would have liked to hear this thing out of the box way back when. 
    Any of youze belly heads worked on one of these?
