[pianotech] Weird Pease Grand

[Mike Spalding]

Cool.  I don't think I've ever seen a plate with more than one horn.  Is 
the third one at the treble break (off the lower left corner of your 
photo)?  It almost looks like there's a projection off of the belly rail 
to mate with the horns.  Is it metal, or wood?  In some pianos with a 
cast bracket that holds the front ends of the beams, a part of the 
bracket (or maybe a separate bolt) will pass through the belly rail to 
meet the horn.  Couples the plate directly to the beams and rim - very 
solid support for string tension.
