Thank you, thank you, thank you---this post is brilliant, and an incredible
breath of fresh air into an increasingly wonky discussion.
Please: letus not forget the bottom line: how does it sound, and how does it
feel, and how do ALL the factors of construction, mass, movement, and
position in a piano action affect the "spielart" of the instrument.

This is truly a deep and majestic craft, ladies and gentleman.
Ron, my gratitude for this post.  Great job.
