During the discussion about frequency response of the human ear, someone
asked the question, "What about those extra keys on the bass end of the
Bosendorfer Imperial?"  I believe that there are no extra keys on this
piano, but there are extra strings.  The reason apparently is that
the tension in the bass keys will be more uniform if all of the strings
(those that do have keys) are adjacent to more strings, rather than
the normal structure of the harp.
