 Hi All

 Just a sneak peak at the  1927 Steinway B (hot rod) Dennis & I are supping up for the Anaheim convention. Dennis has done an incredible job making & installing the cut-off bar & beefed up treble tone bar. He has really jumped all over this one.

  The rib scale now has 15 ribs instead of the usual 13 based on a hybrid idea. 

  The bridge pin pattern are laid out using a new Plexiglas location template & the results are really organize with few defects.

 The Stwy B ( B is for bad boy) sports a Custom made maple lam pin block & short 4 note transition bridge. This is an in shop  handcrafted Sitka spruce soundboard panel pressed up in new jigs & fixtures with Terry's input.

  Disconnected ring bridge.....hmm should be fun. I may not be popular with some folks back at the Mother ship. 

  Hey, it's all fun when you cancorrect Mothers mistakes. We moved the block,bridge,capstans  & action stack forward to correct a horrible action ratio & keys full of lead.

  Enjoy

  Dale
