having worked with Keith (83-5) I still like to make dogleg coupling  
mechanism on doubles, when desired by the customer, -yes, because it  
makes the touch more transparent and a bit lighter. The lower manual  
is moving in and a block on each key (about 10 mm high with a little  
bit of cloth on top then sits under the dogleg of the upper manual jack.
One disadvantage is that the actual process of coupling is a bit more  
physical work and not quite as easily done as moving in the upper  
manual. -A bit more organ-like in a way... The other problem comes in  
when You want to transpose, because the upper manual has to be  
supported so the lower manual moves freely.

cheers from North Germany, Dietrich
