I think it is a very interesting idea with a VERY limited market. Technically, it should produce no insurmountable problems. About the only real difficulty I can see right off hand would be aligning the tuning pins. My approach would be to use conventional tuning pins and orient them as they would be in a conventional piano. This might make placement tricky at some of the plate breaks -- I haven't flipped a drawing to see. Treated like any conventional one-off prototype piano I really don't understand all the fuss about building one. Or ten. --------------------------------------- Phil Bondi wrote: > Alan W Deverell wrote: > > > The more I hear about this the MORE skeptical I become - I suspect it > > is just a SPOOF - the version I heard was that it was designed for > > left handed Pianists - not a very big market me thinks:-))) > > > > AlanD (seeking membership of the Skeptics Society) > > ..it may not be a big market Alan, but a friend in England thought I > might be interested..I am..and I'm making the article available to those > techs who would want to know a little about it..I would like to SEE > one..or I would like to see Mr. Fandrich's reaction to it, or any other > piano designer....it's a novelty, for sure..and honestly, the article > isn't much..it's the pianist's view of it.. > > Phil
