I believe this was a square grand with agraffes on the bridge and alternating up and down bearing!

  Truely amazing, Fred. I want to hear this piano too!  Is it the "bell" metal plate iron for pure tone? Stringy should only be the cheese on my pizza ;>)

  Talking of "real crown" and "real bearing," yesterday I ran across  
  this description of the "Genuine Mathushek" (the NYC firm, not the  
  "fake" one in West Haven CN) "Equilibre System":
    This new system removes all causes whereby ordinary pianos fail. It  
  prevents
  the sounding board from being displaced and admits the adaptation of  
  an iron
  plate with four times teh resisting power of any plate ever introduced  
  by any
  piano maker, without increasing its weight. Each string controls a  
  bearing of
  nearly 15° upon the sounding-board, or (similar to a violin) fifteen  
  times more than
  on an ordinary piano. It must be apparent that a piano thus  
  constructed must
  produce a longer vibration, which by actual demonstration is found to  
  be the case.
  Not only is this advantage gained, the formerly unnatural strain being  
  completely
  withdrawn, a purer, sweeter and inspiring sympathetic tone takes the  
  place of
  the ordinary noisy, stringy tone, and bears in its intensity a very  
  near approach
  to an organ.

                  I'd like to see and hear an example of that. I'm tired of that  
  ordinary noisy, stringy tone.
