I've never seen one of these pianos in person, but I am curious about the scale. I've heard it has 4 plain trichords on the bass bridge. Basically, my question is how many notes are on the bass bridge, and which notes have how many strings per note? Baldwin's website says that strings 1 to 48 are wound. Assuming that 10 of those are single-string notes, that leaves 38 wound strings. 38 divided by 2 is 19. If the scale is like that, then notes A0 to F#1 would be single string and G1 to C#3 would be double string. With four plain wire notes on the bass bridge, that would put the break between F3 and F#3, a 33-note bass. That seems very odd to me, that a large upright would have the break so high up and have a string length longer than the height of the cabinet. Does this piano have any wound trichords? Or, what IS the scale on this thing? I want to guess that it has a 30-note bass with the highest wound note being A#2, and having a few wound trichords, but I'm not sure, not ever having seen one. Can someone educate me on this? Also, does anyone know of a good way to find out what it sounds like? My local piano dealer isn't carrying the Baldwin line at this time, although I suppose I could check into another dealer. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
