[Calin Tantareanu posted the following to files@ptg.org.] For those who asked, here are a few pictures of a Bechstein with the Moor double keyboard action. Apparently it was meant to facilitate the playing of large intervals which are otherwise hard to reach or unreachable. The upper keyboard sounds one octave higher. http://tinyurl.com/5g2bd http://tinyurl.com/5yftt http://tinyurl.com/4r664 http://tinyurl.com/64vgm https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/7a/d8/59/62/1.jpg https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/03/4e/8a/44/3.jpg https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/aa/68/e4/c9/4.jpg https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/a5/58/49/71/6.jpg Here are pictures of the action. It is not the same piano as in the first e-mail, but it should be similar. http://tinyurl.com/7y4cn http://tinyurl.com/4fbxh https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/c4/9f/92/29/PICT0549.JPG https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/files/attachments/40/80/4a/36/PICT0542.JPG Calin Tantareanu ---------------------------------------------------- http://calintantareanu.tripod.com ----------------------------------------------------
