Robert, Look at this one http://www.objenix.freeserve.co.uk/erard.html is this like the one you sold? Maybe even the same one? Looking at the action diagram at the bottom of this web page, I would say that it's similar in that respect. Also, there is a much better shot of the legs and pedals, and they are definitely similar.
