---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I recently was attended one of the Steinway factory seminars and this issue came up quite often. According to Eric Schandal the front rail area of the keybed is flat accept for the extreme left and right areas which is tapered down. This concept was designed to add pressure to the end glides, which in turns helps lifts the middle area of the keyboard push upwards. The bottom line is to create a counter pressure against the weight of the keyboard allowing for an easier shift. The back rail area of the keybed is completely flat. However, the center cavity is sculpted downwards. Also noted was that the 3 main panels are free floating and are not glued.
