A press image of Overs grand action

[Overs Pianos]

Hi all,

For those of you who are interest in our new grand piano action, our 
local paper ran a story (with a picture of the action model shown at 
half blow) recently.

The text wasn't too accurate since they didn't even interview us (It 
was interesting to learn that pianos haven't changed since 1812 - 
must have been a dull lot of tech's over the last two centuries). 
Nonetheless, the image turned out quite OK (was taken with a Nikon 
professional digital camera). I thought some of you might be 
interested in seeing it, since you can see that the jack/knuckle 
contact and the capstan/wippen heel contact is on the line of centres 
at half blow.

You will also notice that this model has only one 1/2" key lead. The 
hammer is a full size 12g bass hammer. This model has 53g DW with 43g 
UW. The assist spring pressure is set at 18g, measured at the face of 
the jack.

The article is now on our website and can be found at;

Sorry I haven't been contributing to the recent list discussions. 
We've a lot to do here to getting piano no. 003 built for Reno. This 
week is bridge notching and sound board installation.

Regards to all,

Ron O
