Hi Joe!

I don't know exactly what you mean by clunky, but I they do have a very =
different touch. I think it is so because you need most effort at the =
beginning of the key stroke (before the beak of the hammer escapes from =
its hook), combined with a shallower key dip.
Is that what you mean?

  Calin,
  I have played on some Viennese pianos, in good condition. They just =
seem very "clunky" to me. I should say, I am not a player so this may be =
a factor, that I need to reconsider. However, as in the Square Grands, I =
feel that it is of the same breed, i.e. "single escapement". Therefore, =
I do not recommend them for any student situation. If an accomplished =
pianist wants one, then so be it. I'll always be happy to =
repair/regulate/tune for them. I just don't recommend them.<G>
  Best Regards,
