Thanks Jack,

I shall fly over there immediately to see it.

Seriously, I would love to come to the convention in July but the Australian
dollar is now at its lowest rate for the last couple of years and the cost
at the moment is prohibitive.  Were the convention on at the same time as
the Olympics it would be more viable as all the airfares are reduced
considerably to fill all the empty planes on their return trip.

The reason for asking is "I am about to design another action and piano
(upright of course) that plays the same as a grand piano's action"  I have
done it before but was not happy with the method I used on the Una-corda
system and now that I have improved the method of repetition and touch
control I would also like to have a decent una-corda as well.

Thus the request for as much information as possible on different una-corda
systems.

Thanks
