Dear all,

Could anyone please explain what double escapement is?

Thanks!

Sorry - in well over 40 years of music making I've never come across this term.

I suspect it's an alternative term - if I can find out what for I will post again.

It's part of the mechanism of a grand piano that lets you play the same note repeatedly even though the key hasn't got all the way back up from being pressed the previous time.

Details here.

Cheers

Katyjay, yes! I browsed through that web page you included in your reply. Very informative. Shall study it. Thanks for the prompt reply!

Ah - I see! thank you KJ. I was looking at it in terms of a harmony question -
