Four minutes and 35 seconds of video introducing the world's largest/longest piano. Unfortunately, the video failed to mention just how big/long the piano is. Looks pretty long though. I wonder how long the keys in the bass are - and how much they flex. Are they bottomed-out before the hammer hits the string on a moderate blow? I suspect the piano will be plagued by an extreme case of action saturation. I wonder if a well-designed set of carbon fiber keys might solve that problem in a very large piano like this - you could likely have the stiffness you need without excessive weight - pretty easy to concentrate stiffness near the balance rail where you need it also. Might cost a tad more to manufacture than a wooden key........ :-( Terry Farrell On Feb 6, 2013, at 9:59 PM, John Ross wrote: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQpnMDaF-aE > > There is the you tube story. > John Ross > Windsor, Nova Scotia -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
