Del,
How did you receive this piano? Was it strung and playable? What
did it sound like? I'm curious to know how much effect the free floating
soundboard had in power or sustain. What , if any, other effects could have
been produced by this treatment? Did the soundboard have a liner of it's
own? If so, other than helping to prevent the board from splitting would
there be any other reason for the board having a liner? Would such a liner
serve to choke off the effect of a free floating board? Was there a fair
amount of deformation of the board due to lack of inner rim/ liner support?
What was the crown like? Was there any downbearing before de-construction?
Thanks so much for sharing all the details about this unusual gem.
