<div> </div> <div>  Ok,.... How bout some really fun piano news. Today it finally got done.   Many will recall my endeavor over the last few years to restore a 5ft 6  inch Julius Bauer grand circa 1924.   Well,... my original assessment about its unique construction, and possible tonal glory, has now been vindicated.  It sound fantastic! I have it the same room with my Hot rod B. They are interestingly in similar tonal pockets/universes.   Clear floating sustaining sound. A very respectable legitimate sounding bottom end and a decent bass/tenor break. A full bodied and balanced sound. Tenor trebles are clear and singing.   Tone powered by Ronsen Weickert. Of course!   A little filing over the tops and pound in some tunings and it sound gorgeous. Playing real music on this overweight beast is a real listening pleasure. Affectioanly named ller when the boys moved it 4 years ago. There is so much weight in the palte that it fell over and tried to squash Dennis in the trailer. It hit the side and not him.
