Good thread. Here are three of my own piano. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/dga_g03.jpg) What an interesting picture. Does that piano have trichords in the bass or is it double overstrung? Thanks for the comment Charles. The answer is neither. There is a separate tenor bridge carrying wire strings, from D2 to Ab3. The picture shows these crossing the treble strings, which start rather high up the keyboard at A3. The tenor strings run alongside and parallel to the bass wound bichords. The bass itself is scarcely overstrung, up to E2 it is not overstrung at all. Possibly for this reason the bass has a pleasantly incisive tone. This was the standard Bluethner design for a number of years around 1880.

In Conjunction with Period Piano Center this is an image I took a few years ago documenting pianos. I did drop out the background and add the name of the piano... Larry, What IS all that metal under the 1869 Erard?

[quote=giuseppe]Some details of my piano ![[Linked Image]](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/Giuseppe1/Dettagli2.jpg) Guiseppe, Lovely pictures of your piano! And I couldn't help noticing, one of my second loves, is that a lever harp there in the reflection? Do you play harp, too? Regards Collyermum who plays an Irmler 5'3" and a Triplett 36 lever harp :-)
Irmler grand 5'3"
Lever harp about grade 6.
(Grade 8 flute and voice, a long time ago now...)

BGJ, very cool looking C7 have for there!
I'm enjoying this thread a fair bit. Should I post some pictures of my piano?
