HOLY CARP!!!
We'll here's a piano I've never heard mentioned before. I stumbbled accross the youtube looking for the Turkish March and it mentioned the piano. One model has a pedalboard like an organ.

Nice sound, but they appear to be quite pricey. I'm just suprised after hanging around all these piano websites I never remember this piano being spoken of in polite company.

That is so weird! How many pedals are there? I guess it's just the bass register??

The first mention of the Borgato piano was in the late 90s when I showed it, and got the guy who designed it to join the forum to discuss it, on PW.

He has to handle the damper sostenuto and left pedal, as well as the pedal notes. Must be hard.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

they might not be spaced like the pedals i'm used to and that they are percussive.. one can't slide and press.

i'd love one of those.

i see that there is a sustaining pedal for the pedals too. he seems to have good organ technique.. my statement was premature because i am jealous. (i think).
