Find yourself one of those old Henry's or a Kimball or something and go to it. Everyone knows these pianos are supposed to sound poorly so when one ends up sounding better than anything else around it has to be a credit to your work and the redesign. When it's finished start having recitals on the thing. Invite folks in to play it who aren't in the market for anything.

It was also necessary. <BR>    I Love the Non Steinway projects especially the big ones. I am rebuilding a 6 ft 8 inch Henry F. Miller from the early 1900's.  It's great because it's....big ...Has a horribly designed board & string scale but it is built like a tank.<BR>  This Job has been a bit daunting because of the duplex angles on the pinblock to flange & also the mortised in pinblock. Dennis & I had to build it in two sections & then patch up the side of the case where it was cut out.<BR>   The String scale was a nightmare that averaged between 220 & 240 per plain wire string.  Aggregate plain wire tensions was 38 Thousand pounds.  Add the bass string tension & it's pushing 50 thousand pounds total tension on the plate.  Un heard of!  Just changing wire size wasn't going to get there. New wire tension was down to 33 thousand.<BR>  This meant making a new bridge. I modeled the new one off a 1894 Steinway B bridge/scale & got the tensions down to 160 to 180. Very Steinwayish & normal. Also the new bridge shape shaved off two plus inches in string length & now lies closer to the center of the rib structure. See bridge laying side by side or over layed. <BR>  I changed rib scales to work nicely with he string scale. 15 ribs fanned & taller of course. The old board probably caved in under the tension of the original scale before it left the factory.<BR><BR><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogcU*MGYr4fuv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"><IMG id=AOLP491875 height=206 src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogcU*MGYr4fuv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width=275 border=0 NOSEND="1"></SPAN></A><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" align=right><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; COLOR: blue"><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogcU*MGYr4fuv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank>View full size</A></SPAN><o:p></o:p></P> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal>  Below is the redesign & addition of the fish.  I think the bridge on this piano lies closer to the actual center of the ribs than any other I've done.<BR><BR><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItojoCEoi6r*B-v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"><IMG id=AOLP631834 height=206 src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItojoCEoi6r*B-v4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width=275 border=0 NOSEND="1"></SPAN></A><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" align=right><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; COLOR: blue"><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItojoCEoi6r*B-v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank>View full size</A></SPAN><o:p></o:p></P> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal>  Below I laid the old bridge end right on top of the note 88 location & the bottom end on the appropriate note on the low tenor end.  The difference is seen<BR><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogit5yJKITpxv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"><IMG id=AOLP286829 height=206 src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogit5yJKITpxv4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width=275 border=0 NOSEND="1"></SPAN></A><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" align=right><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; COLOR: blue"><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItogit5yJKITpxv4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank>View full size</A></SPAN><o:p></o:p></P> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal>     Below shows the new bridge & transition bridge<BR><BR><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoqa0vYvk2G28v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank><SPAN style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"><IMG id=AOLP100551 height=206 src="http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic?id=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoqa0vYvk2G28v4xQp5Fd3Ig=&size=m" width=275 border=0 NOSEND="1"></SPAN></A><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: right" align=right><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; COLOR: blue"><A href="http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=e8d0ZBAkj8b9hteeS5PIZuItoqa0vYvk2G28v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D" target=_blank>View full size</A></SPAN><o:p></o:p></P> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV></DIV> <DIV> <DIV> <P class=MsoNormal> Here is a new plate suspension system that Ron N. & David Love shared with me.
