When was this instrument built? The back-beam layout looks pretty serious on the old H&D.</div> <div><br></div> <div>The bass cut-off is seen from time to time. Even Kawai used it in recent times in their GS70 grand (which was quite a good model when a decent soundboard happened to occur). Udo Steingraeber uses it also in his 'square-backed' concert instrument. Here's an image of Udo's piano taken from his website.</div> <div><img src="cid:a0624080fc42813725ed3@[192.168.0.7].1.0"></div> <div>We just finished our first 200 cm piano commission a couple of weeks ago yesterday. It was all such a rush at the end (for a scheduled launch concert on March 30) that I had no time for doing a photo shoot before the piano left our workshop. But here's a link to an image I took as the piano was being loaded for delivery to the college where it now resides.</div> <div><br></div> <div><font face="Geneva" size="-1" color="#000000" >http://members.optusnet.com.au/~ronovers/oversno7.1.jpg</font></div> <div><br></div> <div>The college is at Sydney Uni (St Andrews residential College). Hence the lack of a delivery crate.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ron O.
