Grand Piano Diagram[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 10 May 2011 at 08:38:52 (UTC)

Original - A schematic depiction of the construction of a pianoforte (part names are listed in the illustration's file)
Action of a grand piano - part of a set as per Chick's comment?
Reason
High quality SVG showing good schematic of piano design. Used on about 30 wikis, and featured on Commons. (Note: I know stuff all about pianos, so if this has some glaring problems please point them out, but going on how widely it's used I assume it's pretty accurate.)

  • There's a separate diagram for the action. Should they be considered as a set? Otherwise, it's a little weird not to have the parts of the action labeled. Chick Bowen 22:11, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Shrug. You've exceeded my knowledge of pianos. I've added the other diagram to the nom if that helps. --jjron (talk) 09:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's a bit odd that the two diagrams are facing in opposite directions. May one should be flipped to make them easier to follow.--RDBury (talk) 22:08, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • You know, I know this was my idea, but now that I look more closely at them, they're actually not the same. There's no capo bar on the action one. Of the various action diagrams floating around, none of them matches up perfectly with the diagram of the whole. The more I look at these, the more I think they're basically composites and not based on any particular instrument. Chick Bowen 19:06, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as set. Good, high-quality illustrations. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is there any good reason that the action is the mirror image of the piano? I find it a little disorienting. Cowtowner (talk) 22:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Further comments: The action diagram isn't actually in the Piano article now it's only at the bottom of Action (piano). Also, these two diagrams of other sorts of actions are currently in the article and probably of equal quality. Cowtowner (talk) 22:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Only piano schematic, since there weren't enough comments on the action image. Makeemlighter (talk) 06:37, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
