            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

                The river calls.....

                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  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?

                          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

                                "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.
