The double hitting came from the overly strengthened repetition springs =
that accomodated his light and lightening touch which when there was any =
tentativeness, and he didn't make the floor of the piano with the dip, =
caused the berbling. There are other unusual aspects to the Horowitz =
action as well.  Chris Solliday

  Ed,
   Yes, I know... Horowitz's hammer blow distance was reported to be =
1.5"...but they had
  to harden the hammers to make up for lost power...not everyone can =
handle a piano
  like that. Horowitz could. You will still hear double striking on =
Horowitz' recordings, even
  with the shorter blow distance. =20

  Glenn Gould wanted no aftertouch...but perhaps had to settle for some =
aftertouch...still he
  got double strikes.
