----- Original Message ----- Also, do you have a picture of the backside showing rib layout, treble cut off, and the reinforcement at the bass cut? Curious minds want to know. ;-) One of these days I'm going to do something with all this information. Dean May No. Sorry. But I do have a couple pictures better than the backside. Below shows the rim modifications. Del maintained the original lower cut-off, designed the upper bass cut-off to be much larger, and added his patented Z-bar (that's the thing hanging off the treble rim side). The picture below has the cut-off area filled in (w/ some cypress), the original rib notches filled in and the new ribs laid in place. I love this picture below. I think it does a very good job at demonstrating the belly areas of the two pianos. I have a faux rim duplicate of a Baldwin M (5' 3" or so) grand piano clamped to my 52" M&H upright frame. The belly rails overlap exactly. Add the cut-off for the grand and a fish, and you have something pretty close to the exact same belly shape on the two pianos - except that the upright has quite a bit more soundboard area for the bass. I've never finished the Baldwin, so I can't compare them, but I sure won't be surprized to find that the upright has a bit more oompffft in the lower end. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
