glosario pianistico revisitado

[Asbel Jonathan Corrales]

Thanks, Paul, for the further clarifications provided.  Unfortunately, I 
will not attempt to provide a translation for the items that you have 
provided further clarification on as some of these terms do not necessarily 
have a clear, definite translation that I am aware of, therefore, I'll leave 
those to people like the gentleman that was referred to you in a previous 
e-mail (Ramón Ramirez).  He will probably be better able to offer these 
translations.

Good luck!

A.J.

Thanks, A.J.  Here are the further details you requested.

animal glue  (I think it's just "cola de animal" or "cola animala")

The bellyrail is the rail that runs the width of a grand piano at the
back of the keybed.  It is the "back wall" of the action cavity.

 > fallboard -

The fallboard is the case part that pivots forward to cover the keys.

 > cheek block -

The cheek blocks are the two blocks at opposite ends of the keyboard and
that you have to take out before the action is removed.  The fallboard
also covers them when it is in the closed position.

 > keyslip - 'more details'

The keyslip is the strip of finished wood that sits at the front of the
keybed, in front of the keys and the cheek blocks, and hides the front
of the keyframe up to the heights of the bottom of the keys.

 > trapwork - 'more details'

The trapwork is the set of levers and other parts that connects the
pedals to the action parts.  (mecanico de los pedales?)

 > Pitman dowel - 'more details'

Usually just called the Pitman, it is the small dowel that passes
through the keybed of a grand piano and connects the lower trapwork with
the interior action parts.

Found on some styles of furniture, it is the short metalic (usually
brass) sleeve at the tip of a furniture leg.  If there is a caster, it
sits above the caster.

No, I meant to say "revisited" because this is the continuation of a
discussion begun a couple of months ago.
