lives in Southern California and is not a PTG member. I will let him know=

interest expressed here and he may want to join the forum to talk about it.=
I
have heard it over the telephone and I will say that the lowest notes sound=
well
defined. To have it show up at the conference was only a dream as there is=
still
finish work to be done. But he will be there to show and
tell.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>This piano looks like a lot of good contemporary thinking went into=
its
design. A good area of cut-off, a small sound board area in the treble=
behind
the bridge, a sensible spacing of the back beam contact with the belly=
rail, a
log scale bass section - very likely the first ever to be built into a=
concert
piano, generously proportioned back beams with two full width cross=
beams, a
nicely positioned diagonal plate strut to help control nasty strut=
resonances.
It has a full eight octave compass and looks to have quite a tight strike=
scale spread - so the key splay should be minimised.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This has to be one of the most interesting and well thought out=
concert
pianos of the past decade at least. Look forward to hearing some reports=
on
its tonal qualities if it makes the convention.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV> Anyone have any contact details for David Rubenstein?</DIV>
