Hi Calin and all,

>Please tell us, what's the addres of the photos?

This piano looks like a lot of good contemporary thinking went into 
its design. A good area of cut-off, a small sound board area in the 
treble behind the bridge, a sensible spacing of the back beam contact 
with the belly rail, a log scale bass section - very likely the first 
ever to be built into a concert piano, generously proportioned back 
beams with two full width cross beams, a nicely positioned diagonal 
plate strut to help control nasty strut resonances. It has a full 
eight octave compass and looks to have quite a tight strike scale 
spread - so the key splay should be minimised.

This has to be one of the most interesting and well thought out 
concert pianos of the past decade at least. Look forward to hearing 
some reports on its tonal qualities if it makes the convention.

  Anyone have any contact details for David Rubenstein?
