[pianotech] Broadwood cottage upright

[David Boyce]

Old broadwood uprights are always interesting to encounter - they 
experimented so much!  Today I checked out a Broadwood cottate upright 
from about 1886 and was fascinated byh the treble stringing patters. 
Also the little cloth sleeves in the bass strings where they pass over 
the top bridge pins (and the wound length going right over the bass 
bridge).  Also the ncie feature of the high treble wippens having extra 
mass to compensate for not having the weight of dampers there.

This old cottage-type upright has continuous flanges, and appears to 
have no metal frame at all.

Best regards,

David.
