The Mason & Hamlin uprights had a
system called the "screw stringer" system will sounds very
close to what you are describing. Unusual, but stable

Here are some pictures of the Brinsmead screw system on a 6'3"
grand, which they used for over 25 years concurrently with traditional
wrestplanks on both grands and uprights.  The expense must have
