This is a fabulous demonstration. Thank you! I was having a hard time understanding by watching other videos or just reading about it online.

Great video. Thank you!

Very interesting! I just bought a Steinway A, being rebuilt with a Renner action. What is the difference between a Renner action and the Steinway action that NY Steinways use today?

But uprights can repeat quietly without fully releasing the key. Just they cannot repeat loudly without fully releasing the key. Grands can repeat quietly and loudly without full release of key.
Thanks for vids.

Soooo... La Campanella would be much more difficult to play on the single escapement action. Wow, never realized. Cool, great info.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

@@thepianotechnicianacademy9560 That is what I was going to ask- fast pieces (La Campanella, Apassionata 3) are going to be a lot smoother on a grand, right?

So that’s why I can’t play the intro to “Angry Young Man” on my Yamaha console!

Things like this always sound like a myth to me. There are more moving parts therefore less direct. I hear people say that .
