Hamburg Pinblock?

[Sambell, Ted]

Hello Mr. Olsen,

I am glad to make your acquaintance. The Sauter 1/16th. tone piano was
developed in co-operation with an avant garde composer. It has a full eight
octaves of (97) keys, which are otherwise standard in appearance. However,
the very bottom note (C) and the very top note (c) only span one 
one octave. Each semi-tone key played in chromatic sequence produces a pitch
just 1/16th of a tone different. To find a whole semi-tone from any given
note is the normal interval of a minor sixth. An example would be to go from
C to C# one plays first the C and then the Ab above. The piano is straight
strung; there is one long bridge which slopes shallowly from end to end.

I'll be glad to try to answer any further questions,

Will you please explain a little, I'm mystificated.
