[pianotech] "Slide piano"?

[pianolady50 at peoplepc.com]

Hi Jack,

A design that allows what the inventor terms "a fluid tuning".  Each two string unison's tuning can be altered by sliding termination points either before playing or during.  This 'piano' is also outfitted with an overstrung section that is used like a harp.  Although not much is shown of the guts, it appears that the hammers are merely wooden dowels covered in leather, or similar.  Can't figure the damper system other than it must be under a rail which hovers over the strings.
