---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Dave, Was most interested to read your report on Ron N's remanufactured D. I've been fortunate to receive a few images of the work in progress, and was expecting big things from this project. Glad to hear your review, and I look forward to hearing a recording of the instrument when one becomes available. Ron O. >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. > >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! > >This is the way a piano should sound IMHO! > >dave > >__________________________ >David M.
