[CAUT] Fwd: Mason & Hamlin soundboard model with tuning fork

[Euphonious Thumpe]

Thanks, Bob.
     I too feel this way about M&H pianos, and to an only slightly lesser extent Conovers, which I've been told were also designed by Gertz, hence the tonal similarity. ( I recently moved a Conover 77 that had a bass side 7 inches thick, I suspect! And I have another in my shop but seemingly not quite so thick. ) And I've noticed that their soundboards, when unstrung and thumped upon, do not give a big, resonant "Thummmmmmmmm" like a Knabe board would. But when strung and played produce a warm richness that is unsurpassed. 
( Do they use a slightly higher tension scale?)
