Paul,  
I don't have one at the moment but hopefully I will have soon. It too is  
very interesting. However, the person who did the rebuilding job din'y bore  
the hammers to fit this unusual piano but looks like a standard out of the 
box  so the bass hammers are almost at right angles to the strings which I'd 
like  to correct. When I get thepictures I'll send them to you.
Best Regards,


Randy

action if available.

Paul,  
You're correct. The damper line parallels the hammer rail with  the V 
shape. Very interesting.......

Randy:
 
Is it a standard action configuration? From the damper line, it  looks as 
if not.

Has anyone seen this symmetric grand before or know  the proper name? I've 
been trying to find some information it. It  was built in 1887, probably 
around 6'. All belly work done and  looks like a decent job along with new 
hammers, shanks and  flanges, finish is very nice. Here are some pictures since 
they  speak louder than my poor description. I'd appreciate any help you  
may have. Also if someone may know a ball park for the  value.
