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.
