treble fish on steroids

[Ron Overs]

Hello Dean,

Thanks for posting the interesting images. When was this instrument 
built? The back-beam layout looks pretty serious on the old H&D.

The bass cut-off is seen from time to time. Even Kawai used it in 
recent times in their GS70 grand (which was quite a good model when a 
decent soundboard happened to occur). Udo Steingraeber uses it also 
in his 'square-backed' concert instrument. Here's an image of Udo's 
piano taken from his website.

We just finished our first 200 cm piano commission a couple of weeks 
ago yesterday. It was all such a rush at the end (for a scheduled 
launch concert on March 30) that I had no time for doing a photo 
shoot before the piano left our workshop. But here's a link to an 
image I took as the piano was being loaded for delivery to the 
college where it now resides.

The college is at Sydney Uni (St Andrews residential College). Hence 
the lack of a delivery crate.
