It was a super = modernistic design like a harpsichord on a central 'pillar' which = also incorporated the pedals. It was, to my recollection, = straight/oblique strung</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes that's the one. I do have one = in my care, though I haven't touched it for a very long time - twenty years or = so. It was memorable enough for me to exclaim when I first saw it "I didn't = know they made grands!" It is just as you described. I have a small triangular William de Blaise Harpsichord which lives (minus legs) = under my S&S "A". It is of the same shape and size as that = Lindner grand. </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I cannot remember anything = more pertinent to it though - what the action etc was like etc. though = the keys, I think, were standard. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards from a wind-blown sometimes = sunny sometimes rainy Sussex Village</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael G.(UK)</FONT></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
