[pianotech] Klavins

[Paul T Williams]

I thought so too, Ric.  Where's the keel?(did I spell keel, keal, right??) 
 I know what it is <G>....put myself through college working in a marina 
in beautiful Kingston, WA....gateway to the San Juan Islands and Puget 
Sound.  Ahhhhhh.... those were the days.....

Paul

Looks like a sail boat to me :)... found the following quote from his 
website interesting tho....  under Project III

Cheers

    "David Klavins of Klavins Pianos proposes to revolutionize this
    situation with a highly sophisticated piano action using
    state-of-the-art materials. Klavins provides 20 years of experience
    in piano building, design and maintenance, and contemporary
    technologies provide bearings with under 0.1% of the friction of
    felt and light metals and plastics with appropriate flexibility but
    zero twisting, warping or humidity distortion to replace delicate
    wooden parts.

    The result is a piano action with unprecedented precision and
    durability. Its virtually friction-free construction offers
    incalculable advantages to the pianist alongside enormously reduced
    maintenance costs. It can be simply installed in any Steinway but
    can be built to suit any other grand piano as well."
