pejoratively You just gave me my new word for the day. Long time since I didn't know the meaning of a word. Or at least, thought I knew.

I like Marcel's take on the straight keys. The quarter grand's keys are aggressively angled with only a single bend, so the back of the key doesn't end up parallel to the front of the keys...thus ruining yet another perfectly good theory....I personally have quite a fine collection of slightly used, perfectly good theories...any takers? Which models have straight keys? Where did the money come from? Ron N I'll say! I can't for the life of me figure how a production line could run with these designs. From a design perspective, maybe his assumptions of what constituted a well regulated action was quite different from our assumptions. I don't mean that pejoratively either. I've always preferred the performance of these actions to those built,say, according to steinway assumptions.
