[Files] Steinway Hammer Rest Rail

[William R. Monroe]

Hmmmm,

Thanks Gents,

Looks like I'll have to inquire about the case/trapwork assy.  It'd be interesting if it were an old reproducer.  The naturals are 19" long.  I can honestly say I've never measured the keysticks of an "M" before, so I don't know if this is any different.  Sostenuto Monkey is traditionally placed.  There is a small "L" bracket on the bottom of this moveable hammer rail just above and to the right of the monkey (as you sit at the piano).  It extends down from the rail about 1/2" and has a screw hole in it, but no obvious way to connect it to any sort of trapwork/levers/etc.  And there are no pass through holes in the keys, nor do they extend beyond the back rail.

I Dunno, but I think its a cinch it'll come off.

     This was more than likely a Steinway built for and 
  sold to the Aeolian Company  to accommodate their  
  "Duo/Art Player" system.  The trap work  works well
  it uses iron rods as a pivots. Or it may have been a
  standard Steinway and they could have installed 
  some "left over player action stacks".  
    As I remember the sostenuto  trap work goes all the 
  way to the bass end of the action to connect.
