Just curious if any one know of other (modern) pianos with this sort of rim braces design.

The exception seems to be squared beams rather than angled like this. Especially the concert size in the back - the fanned, or "flayed" beam design is fairly common.

To answer your question though, I cant think of one off the top of my head that uses this exact beam layout.

Grotrian runs a parallell beam structure on the bottom - which is similar to the two smaller in the image, though it is square to the keybed rather than diagonal.

I'd like a closer look at the joints.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
