The Bluthner, addition to the aliquot strings has a
cylindrical sound board which makes it sound like, erm,
a Bluthner. I can appreciate that it might not play well
in some rooms. It also has a light touch which many
sessions musicians prefer.



Just for clarity, the term "cylindrical sound board",
although widely used, is something of a misnomer.
The board is of course flat, or rather tapererd.
It is the crown of the soundboard which has a
cylindrical form.
