I have no idea why they used this arrangement, but I it could be =
plausible that they wanted to achieve a certain overall key weight and =
maybe inertia?

  Hello list.

  This nice 1864 Pleyel 260 cm has been upgraded, probably in the =
factory, as was very usual in those days.  The action has been modified, =
for sure.
  Interesting : the keys have ivory on the sides.
  Strange : look at the leads.  One at the front (it has swollen through =
the thin ivory), one at the back, and... one exactly at the balance =
hole.  Yes.
  Does anybody have a clue for what is the theory behind this creative =
leading ?

  Best regards.

  St=E9phane Collin.
