How bout some really fun piano news. Today it finally got done.<br>   Many will recall my endeavor over the last few years to restore a 5ft 6  inch Julius Bauer grand circa 1924.<br>   Well,... my original assessment about its unique construction, and possible tonal glory, has now been vindicated.<br>  It sound fantastic! I have it the same room with my Hot rod B. They are interestingly in similar tonal pockets/universes.<br>   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.<br>   Tone powered by Ronsen Weickert. Of course!<br>   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. Affectionately named killer when the boys moved it 4 years ago. There is so much weight in the plate that it fell over and tried to squash Dennis in the trailer. It hit the side and not him.<br> More pictures <br> <div class="envelope" style="float: none;" align="left"><img src="cid:tie_8CE05B38702114B_FF4_FCB2" id="TIE.534066" style="margin: 5px; vertical-align: middle;" alt="Julius -1.jpg" class="AOLInlineImage" title="Julius -1.jpg" width="275"></div> <div><span><br> </span></div> Web site at WWW.
