Good question Patrick :-)
 The knuckles on the Brambach,per se, were not really a problem...many latter 
day instruments also used the "box knuckle" (my name for the thingees).  
Kawai used this shape knuckle for many years and some of the older Kawais 
have a 'very' nice feel indeed...............

Obsolete?? :-)  I suppose that it still is a "wippen" although of a different 
flavor?
