The quarter grand's keys are aggressively angled with only a single bend, so
the back of the key doesn't end up parallel to the front of the keys...thus
ruining yet another perfectly good theory....I personally have quite a fine
collection of slightly used, perfectly good theories...any takers?

Which models have straight keys?

 I'll say! I can't for the life of me figure how a production line could run
with these designs.

>From a design perspective, maybe his assumptions of what constituted a well
regulated action was quite different from our assumptions. I don't mean that
pejoratively either. I've always preferred the performance of these actions
to those built,say, according to steinway assumptions.
