<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello List and Richard of Cardiff =
- who
said:</FONT></DIV>
<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. </FONT></DIV>

sometimes rainy Sussex Village</FONT></DIV>
