<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Looks like I'll have to inquire about the
case/trapwork assy. It'd be interesting if it were an old
reproducer. The naturals are 19" long. I can honestly say I've never
measured the keysticks of an "M" before, so I don't know if this is any
different. Sostenuto Monkey is traditionally placed. There is a
small "L" bracket on the bottom of this moveable hammer rail just above and to
the right of the monkey (as you sit at the piano). It extends down from
the rail about 1/2" and has a screw hole in it, but no obvious way to connect it
to any sort of trapwork/levers/etc. And there are no pass through holes in
the keys, nor do they extend beyond the back rail.</FONT></DIV>

off.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> This was more than likely a Steinway built for and
</DIV>
<DIV>sold to the Aeolian Company to accommodate their </DIV>
<DIV>"Duo/Art Player" system. The trap work works well</DIV>
<DIV>it uses iron rods as a pivots. Or it may have been a</DIV>
<DIV>standard Steinway and they could have installed </DIV>
<DIV>some "left over player action stacks". </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV> As I remember the sostenuto trap work goes all the </DIV>
<DIV>way to the bass end of the action to connect. </DIV>
