Renowned pianist Christopher Taylor demonstrates the unique features of a special instrument that combines the harpsichord's ability to double its keyboard with the sound of a modern Steinway piano.

I had two dreams involving a piano like this, one where I found a red one and I had to hide it and sneak it away, the other was last night, in the dream I played it onboard an ancient cruise ship inside a small room, I jammed on it awhile until Joni Mitchell's "River" manifested and suddenly there were people surrounding me singing along. It was one of the most serene and beautiful dreams I've ever had, and now I'm happy to know that such a piano exists outside my subconscious.

I've played this piano (not very well)! In Gunnar's home while his wife Lorraine was still living there. It has had a lot of restoration work since then. I'm so glad it's at UW-Madison where a musician of Taylor's genius can use it.

Here says you posted this video 10 years ago. I just imagine you must have prepared a great repertoire since I can see how you enjoy such of incredible instrument. Too bad there are no pianos like that on market and it seems since it was invented possibly few of them are hidden somewhere. It is kind of a new piano era, it may require a specific technic of fingering I guess, but, after being in front of such of a wonderful keyboard... one immediately begin to dream and improvise a lot!! I'm really impressed.

If you were improvising and your right hand went to play in the area where the left hand was playing on the other, would the notes sound on the ones the left hand were playing?

I don't see why this didn't become the predominant style of piano. Surely it's a bit more expensive to make but not THAT much more. Especially when you consider pianos aren't even built with virtually any care for expense to begin with, what's an extra keyboard action going to add to the cost? No more than another $1,000 I can't imagine, for things that people regularly buy new steinways for anywhere from $40,000 to $150,000, to upwards of $500,000 for the absolute biggest concert grands.
