Una corda in uprights

[Calin Tantareanu]

Unfortunately I didn't have my digital camera with me today, so I'll try to
make this intelligible with words only :-)
The keyes had no capstans. A pretty long (maybe 10cm) stick rests on the key
vertically and lifts the jacks, hammers etc. These wooden stickers, or
whatever the proper name is, are hinged, but also bend a little to the left,
when the action stack is being pushed to the left by the una corda pedal.
I guess, since they are pretty tall and hinged only close to the ends, thet
this small sideways movement is not affecting their bushings.
It's as simple as this.
