They are a morphidite type piano, 38" with a direct blow action only because Kimball dowelled 2 pieces of wood together one on top of the other to make a key that dips down under the whippens. Need I say they are a "joy" to adjust lost motion on? Almost as much fun as the old rocker capstans were on uprights. Other than that they aren't anything special, typical Kimball quality, pre-furniture guys, so they were made by piano men at least?!? Mike -- I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
