---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Jack Thanks. How do you do that? I appreciate the fact that you are walking encyclopedia of piano related facts & trivia. Amazing Happy Thanksgiving to you Dale Erwin Hello to all, Jim! There were three Wurlitzer Butterfly's. one was the "Student Butterfly" it has 44 keys was 26 in. long weights 88 lbs. It has no pedals and has a single escapement action (jack on key). The next size up is a 73 note piano about 4ft.10 long. Then there was the 88 note size about 5 ft. Both the 73 and the 88 note had a double repeat action. It was what I call (The Dekalb action). In this action the repetition lever and the jack used individual coil springs. Also the repetition lever is about one half as long of "regular actions" Looks a little odd works well. However a little unforgiving to regulate. Hope this helps, Regards, Jack Wyatt Erwins Pianos Restorations 4721 Parker Rd.
