Piano parts for pre-1900 German grand

[Farrell]

Hi Jack,

I have never played a well-functioning single-escapement grand action. Obviously, it is going to have some different characteristics from a modern grand action. What are its characteristics that make it "one of the worlds finest actions"? Is there any other action that it is similar to - such as the Bluthner Patent action? Thanks.

Even though much of my work is somewhat geared toward "modern high performance", I also know that there are other desirable goals out there.

  Hello John,

      I have original " Viennese"  parts in good condition.

     Are the broken parts all in one area or scattered
  through out the action?
     
    This is one of the worlds finest actions. 
  Of course this is contrary to what some say.
     It is slower but still fast enough for the majority
  of people   
     
      I do not charge Technicians  for these obsolete 
  parts.
    However I do ask that you donate whatever they are 
  worth to you  ,,, to the   P.T.G.  Foundation.

     This of course is the  honor system. 

  Regards 
  Jack Wyatt
