Conclusion in this chapter, I have explored different mechanisms for pianoforte actions from the golden age of the pianoforte developments, including, on the upright pianoforte, the sticker action, and the tape check action; on the grand pianoforte, the English action, the German action, the Erard action, and the Steinway action.
From the discussions above, it can be concluded that the makers were intended to build the ideal action in the direction of having a lighter weight key with sensitive touching, as well as having the hammer to not interrupt the string’s vibrations. In modern times, most pianofortes have achieved this. There have been no major mechanical changes in the past 130 years and this action remains as the direct link of the pianist to the pianoforte.
