Hi Baoli,

I thot that you, Kit, or someone would like to look into this 
reference.  In case you're not keeping up with pianotech, Kit is found 
on utube (per Terry Ferrell) at

f913673f701(I've not seen it).Other email guessed how it works, but I'm a
bit busy now to comment onit, or refer to the Journal article (I don't
remember which issue itwas in).Hope your summer is good.Mark----- Original

to hear it inaction. Steinway's one-and-only Emanuel Moor double-keyboard
piano.>> Several other makers produced one or two of them, and
Bosendorfermade several.>> The history of them is documented in a book by
Herbert A. Shead, ofwhich I have a copy (The History Of The Emanuel Moor
Double KeyboardPiano. Unwin Brothers Ltd).  There is a large fold-out
diagram of theaction of the Bechstein version, but nothing of that sort on
