So Del, It sounds like players still want a Viennese action. Minimal dip and aftertouch, rapidity, more control to win more flexibility! See, they really do need Stephen's instruments, especially for home and chamber music. I'm delighted that you're giving them this. I know I am continually frustrated at how terribly difficult it is to play, e.g. Schubert, properly on the typical modern grand. The key dip and inertia are too great to create the effects necessary. Thanks for the specs, too, I'm setting up an instrument this next week and will try them. ab Anne Beetem Harpsichords & Historic Pianos 2070 Bingham Ct. Reston, VA 20191 abeetem@wizard.net
