Only one quick view of the action... it looks like the upper keybed flips up to allow action removal, and is attached under the stretcher somehow (I'll bet there's no fallboard!). The upper manual must push down on the keys right behind the keytops, right? It sure must have a high downweight at that point, plus the mechanism to play an octave higher. With just one set of hammers, you'd have to work around the problem of playing the same note at the same time. --Cy-- ----- Original Message ----- From: Farrell To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Sunday, July 15, 2007 6:56 AM Subject: Steinway double-keyboard piano Neat.
