[pianotech] Another Mathushek

[Delwin D Fandrich]

Don't be too quick to write this off as a typical old square.

Mathushek did attempt to resurrect the square shape during the depression years.
The scaling was more-or-less modern and the action (with the exception of the
keys) was pretty typical Aeolian. I have only seen one of these and was not able
to pull the action but it was a pretty intriguing package. I wouldn't want
one--not being a fan of the shape and I wouldn't want to be constantly reminded
of the traditional square--but it was interesting.
