Neat little pianos. I love this treble area - If one were to redesign rim in the tradition of Fandrich/Nossaman/etc., I suspect there would be no call for a treble fish on this piano! I like it!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:001601c86ac1$97079cb0$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>And check out how Jonas & Co. built in an excellent treble belly rail brace with the rim. It's a sawn rim (softwood it looks like) and this picture is of what is directly underneath the area in the picture above. A very well built piano. I'd love to do a complete re-do on one of these.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:001701c86ac1$97079cb0$0401a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell<BR>Farrell Piano</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><A href="http://www.farrellpiano.com">www.farrellpiano.com</A><BR><A href="mailto:terry@farrellpiano.com">terry@farrellpiano.com</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
