Gregor said: "If you work as a translator you should think about buying the famous book Piano Nomenclatur by Nikolaus Schimmel. A German publication of the names of piano parts in German, English, French, Italian, Norwegian, and Spanish. I never read it, but I think it could be very usefull. By the way: does anyone have a link to a site where the English names of piano parts are shown along with a picture of a piano or action?" Gregor, I would suggest you read the aforementioned book...And Mason's similar effort. Most of what you are dealing with will probably be in Samuel Wolfendon's book. If you can get a copy of that, I believe your effort will be easier. The biggest problem with nomenclature is that each piano manufacturer has their own "favorites".<G>:-( Best Regards, Joseph Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I
