Hi Terry

 

Great pictures. Did you install vertical hitch pins, too?

I probably shouldn't speak for Del, but my understanding of his thinking
with these design changes is simply that the longer backscale is beneficial,
along with the cantilever chucking and the loose foot. This thing absolutely
ROARS! Not only that, but the scale is so beautifully smooth, the
transitions are transparent, and the treble - oh, the treble - the sustain,
the clarity - suffice to say that I have been very impressed with the
results.

 

IMHO, this piano rivals (and really, sounds better than - but I won't go
that far in public!) most any excellent six-foot grand piano.

 

Greg, what do you mean by "Probably better than the old upright deserved."?
I presume you meant from a financial standpoint? I'd have to agree with you
there. But from a musical instrument point of view, I would respectfully
disagree. What if you want an absolute top-sounding piano and simply do not
have the room for a decent sized grand in your 500 square foot abode? This
approach here is the ticket!
