[pianotech] Transporting a grand action

[Paul T Williams]

Lack of interest....Why else would the 7/8 designed for the concert grand 
in our major venue has never been requested.  I think is was a waste of 
precious funds.

Paul, 
 
Are you saying that the reason it's not played is because of the room the 
piano is in, not lack of interest in the narrow keyboard? 
 
I'm interested because it's unclear to me whether these narrow keyboard 
have a future.  On one hand (no pun intended), I find they make a great 
difference - not hard to adapt to, and they make most music easier to 
play. On the other, I can see why many aspiring professionals might that 
time spent on a non-standard keyboard is a wate, since they will almost 
always perform on a standard instrument.  Yet again, many conservatory 
students with smaller hands suffer from hand and wrist problems that might 
be avoided by practicing on a "right-sized" keyboard.
 
What say you? 
 
John
