This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment We just got a piano back from Ron Nossaman's shop last Friday. It used to be a Steinway D. It is now a Nossaman D. What a wonderful sounding instrument! Gone are the irritating wound trichords, all the false beats and the killer octave. Now it has a tenor bridge with 5 wound bichords, a new bass bridge disconnected from the treble bridge, a large bass cut-off bar, a treble fish, 22 ribs, and many other enhancements. I hope Ron will jump in here and give whatever technical details he wants to give. He even has some pictures of various parts of the redesign I hope he'll post. =20 The new back action now has capstans under each underlever and the keys have an additional maple plate on the top of the key to help reduce key flex. I am elated with the whole thing. There are new ideas in piano construction even though not from our piano factories. The Steinway D has been redesigned 4 times since its first introduction in 1859 as the Style 4. The last changes Steinway made were in 1915 so surely that's modern enough! =20 This is the way a piano should sound IMHO! =20 dave =20 __________________________ David M.
