Yeah, and it has to have all sorts of resonance also.....

                  How can it have no overtones whatsoever? Seems to me that this would sound terrible.

  thanks for the question.  To start, I have to admit I'm sortof proud, so my opinion will be a tad biosed.  But, it maintains longer string length than the steinway d in the mid range all the way to the top end, with 4-6" less in bass string length.  The piano is 8'2" The sound is incredibly robust, with a remarkable color range.  the high end lacks right now, but I have to add a piece of bronze to the capo and then we will see.  that should be completed in 2 weeks.  The bass growls, and the strings emit pure-tones with no overtones whatsoever.  they are wound through the bridge, all the way to the hitch!  So, it is even, warm, clear, and the bass is un-describable.  All that remains for me to put to the test is the last section.
