Hi Tom
   Is it reversed crowned perhaps? See....... nothing new.

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?
    Tom Driscoll  RPT
