Of much help in creating the upright piano action animation was a diagram and components table at (http://www.pianosupply.com/anonftp/upright.jpg) which is a page in the International Piano Supplies website: (http://www.pianosupply.com). On this page can be found diagrams of actions of several types of piano. |
