Any chance of using a couple of different action models for a couple of the
shots as well... say a Renner, Schwander and Steinway to see if the physical
design of the parts and their construction makes any difference?

What about different hammers? The effect of a grooved hammer as opposed to a
clean one might be interesting, especially if you can get the string
vibration in as well. The same would apply to a worn-out hammer as opposed
to a new one.

Perhaps a demonstration of how loose hammer flange pinning or a loose flange
affects the hammer shank and other parts?

Of course, all these experiments are limited by the time you have...
Whatever happens I will be fascinated to see the results! Perhaps some of
them could be converted to QuickTime movies we could download?  Would the
finished tape be made available for purchase by other chapters or individuals?
