Blimey mercs - I'd never have got that

Let me cogitate

A Baldwin, a Steinway and a Fazioli don’t have this Q

But an Aston, an Adlung and a Hubbard do.

What Q is this?

Shouldn’t take long

Well, your original "codetta" said "Shouldn't take long", so I've been hunting for Quick/steps!

"No action", hmm? Quietus? A short-staffed production of West Side Story?

Oh sorry fhg - I'm not usually that complex

Action is a fair give-away I think - tho you'd be plucky to object :wink:

An Aston is a car what goes quick?

True ... but not what's on the card, Anna

Early Kirkman's had this Q but the later branching out to percussive instruments didn't, obviously

Blimey ferney - was that on SkyDodgy?!

Care to elaborate, ferney?

But an Aston, an Adlung and a Hubbard do.

... it wd have been kinder if you had said Taskin, Hemsch, Goermans, Ruckers....

"SkyDodgy" is surely a tautology? (It's not a film I could ever watch again - made me quite queasy just the first time! Stronger stomachs needed.)

Care to elaborate, ferney?

Baldwin, Steinway and Fazioli are all makes of Piano, and, as such have strings hit by hammers.

Cawton Aston was a Spinet maker, Jakob Adlung was, and the Hubbard Co are, manufacturers of Harpsichords: their strings are plucked by quills.
