<DIV>
<DIV>The topic of Lindner pianos cropped up in the Pianotech list a =
short while
ago. Did you ever see the Lindner Grand?? It was a super =
modernistic
design like a harpsichord on a central 'pillar' which also incorporated =
the
pedals. It was, to my recollection, straight/oblique strung</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes that's the one. I do have one in my =
care,
though I haven't touched it for a very long time - twenty years or so. =
It was
memorable enough for me to exclaim when I first saw it "I didn't know =
they made
grands!" It is just as you described. I have a small triangular =
William de
Blaise Harpsichord which lives (minus legs) under my S&S "A". =
It is
of the same shape and size as that Lindner grand. </FONT><FONT =
face=Arial size=2>I cannot remember anything more pertinent to it =
though - what
the action etc was like etc. though the keys, I think, were standard.
