<BR>Today I happened upon an old Weber 9 foot concert grand that was not in =
the greatest shape, though in its time, it must have been REALLY magnificent=
. The strings were pretty rusted, though at pitch, and tunable(despite=
having been installed more sloppily than I've ever seen). I didn't get to t=
une the whole thing, just looked it over a bit.
<BR>
<BR>The interesting feature is the four string unisons above the treble/teno=
r strut. I wish the piano was in good shape so I could really evaluate=
what musical effect this would create. Has anyone on this list come a=
cross one of these in decent condition? Tuning them must be a bit of a=
challenge. The strings of each note are so close together, that they =
seem quite difficult to get a mute between.
<BR>
<BR>Just another of life's interesting pianos.
