[pianotech] Transporting a grand action

[Paul T Williams]

Hi John,

We have two of these actions. One "lives" in a nice Steinway L in a 
practice room and the other "lives" in the casket style box. Both were 
made by Steinbuhler.  They were part of one of the piano faculty's study 
toward her PhD. She has small hands.  We have lots of piano students, but 
in my nearly 4 years here, not one has practiced on the L upstairs that I 
know of.  The room works well for vocal practice, trombone, 
flute.....anything but piano.  It's too bad too as this is a really nice 
piano and these actions run something like $9-10K each!

Paul, 
 
In a post today you mentioned a 7/8 keyboard.  I'm very interested in 
narrow keyboards.  Where did you get yours?  Make it yourself?  From DS 
Keyboards?  Why is it never used?
 
I find that 7/8 is a little small for me, but even a 15/16 opens up a lot 
of music I just can't play on a standard keyboard, and the things I can 
play but have to stretch for become much easier. 
 
Your comments will be appreciated.
