Craig Brougher was good enough to point out to me, when I was talking
about the "split point", that I should have clarified that I was
talking about the number of pneumatics on the stack which collapse
on the treble and bass side when vacuum is introduced into each side
separately. I now realize that some may have thought that I was
talking about the "split point" on the keyboard.
Thus, for the sake of clarification, when I was talking about the
"split point" on the Steinway Duo Art 80 note stack, I meant that
for testing purposes, with all nipples on the bleed rail opened, when
vacuum was introduced to the stack on the treble side, 41 pneumatics
would close, and when I introduced vacuum on the bass side, 39 would
close. Likewise for an 88-note stack, if I introduced vacuum on the
treble side, 45 pneumatics would close, and if I introduced vacuum
on the bass side, 43 pneumatics would close.
Applying this to the 88-note keyboard therefore, the "split point"
on both stacks (80 and 88 note) would be between notes 43 and 44.
Sorry for the confusion.
