<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Looks like a gem Ron. Hard maple beams, =
belly
rail & rim - man, that's gotta be one heckuva solid
foundation! One question though. A fish, or treble =
cut-off, may
be used to reduce the area of soundboard in the treble area of
an existing instrument. But if designing and building a piano from =
scratch,
and knowing of the desired reduced-compared-to-traditional =
soundboard area
in the treble, what reason would there be to build the rim to =
traditional
dimensions and add a fish, rather than simply altering the shape of the =
rim
during design & building to reflect the desired smaller treble =
soundboard
area - and hence not needing a fish?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only reason I can think of is =
"because pianos
are supposed to look like that." And I suppose a rim adjusted to reflect =
the
smaller treble soundboard area would inspire too many =
questions?</FONT></DIV>
