higher plane it was now possible to have a much narrower cabinet at the “nose” end of the piano. Thanks to over-stringing, the transition from unwound tenor strings to the iron or copper-wrapped bass strings was optimized. Érard invented the double escapement action in 1821, which incorporated a repetition lever (also called the balancier). Henri Pape was the first to present felt pound covers supplanted layered calfskin, and that was in the year 1826. Felt hammer coverings was a more…
