oldest Bechstein

[Allen Wright]

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the innards of the oldest  
Bechstein (at least according to what Bechstein tells us), #124 (ca.  
around 1858)...check out the continuous agraffe in the mid-section  
(that's new to me, anyway), and the upper plate wooden bridge (w/  
pins) in front of the steel pressure bar.

I'll send another pic with a larger view so you can see the pretty  
rosewood case. Just for fun...
