Each of my grand nieces and nephews gets a piece of the The Woodcutter for their first (or so) Christmas. This was the rocking motorcycle for Drew Copas, Linda's grandson.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427121052159869670-8266554701797502170?l=thewoodcutteratzionsville.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14206645509609463379noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8427121052159869670.post-70702464571058109842007-10-30T18:12:00.000-07:002008-12-09T05:30:13.187-08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MTrudhjer0E/RyfnjErNEoI/AAAAAAAAAAc/xl6AX63pC9s/s1600-h/20021215Square+Grand+Piano+I.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MTrudhjer0E/RyfnjErNEoI/AAAAAAAAAAc/xl6AX63pC9s/s320/20021215Square+Grand+Piano+I.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127321290520990338" /></a><br />We didn't have space for a concert grand piano, so my partner Gary bought a Yamaha with a grand inside, and I built a square around it that fits the period of our home. The legs and trim are solid walnut; the sides are walnut veneer with maple inlay. The "square piano" (actually a rectangle) is sometimes called a square grand because it was strung horizontally like modern grands. After more than a hundred years of development, the design was unceremoniously dumped in the 1880's, replaced by bronze harps in uprights and in the modern horizontal harp shape.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8427121052159869670-7070246457105810984?l=thewoodcutteratzionsville.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14206645509609463379noreply@blogger.com0
