Square Piano/Tangent by Trute,C

The present piano is the only tangent piano by this maker and one of the 4 English pianos in total (worldwide) having the tangent action.

The tangent action is -like the English actions- a so called ’’Stoss Mechanik’’ which was widely and solely used in England (unlike Germany and Austria but also the east part of France where Stoss and Prell actions both were used) but the hammers that hit the strings from below are pivotless and jump freely in the air, guided in a register.
