cracks in rim

[Dean May]

Yes, indeed, Michael, I saw your post. It’s the beating the dead horse thing
going on. It often happens during friendly exchanges with no disrespect to
you at all. 

 

I certainly did not intend to be disparaging of the concept of stringing
without the outer rim. It does make sense from a manufacturing standpoint.

True, but consider that they string it up and tune it before they put on the
outer rim. While it does not prove that it was designed to do so it would be
pretty poor design work if they didn't count on it handling all the stress.
I mean, we've never seen poor design work before in pianos, have we? ;-)

Hello, Hello, is any one seeing or reading my posts? I said all of this last
night!!!! No one seemed to see it or notice! Are my posts not getting
through to everyone? I see them! Does no one else?
 
I not only was a private contractor to the local Kawai dealer, we also have
a very active Yamaha dealer in this area and we had two RPT's that had a
Samick dealership! Good friends of mine! So I'm very conversant &
knowledgable regarding asian grands and their construction and faults. 
 
I personally find it a smart concept, to string without the outer rim but
then I'm sure none of you have EVER had a string, tool or other metal object
slip and gouge the newly refinished inner rim of a piano you were
re-stringing! 
Yes, I know all about covering it with various things but those things can
move ot slip, think how much easier it would be if it weren't there!
