The instrument could stump contestants on â??Jeopardy!â?: It has 164 keys and four pedals. Oh, and two keyboards.
The correct response is neither â??What is an organ?â? nor â??What is a harpsichord?â? No, the answer involves an almost one-of-a-kind piano from the late 1920â??s, which Christopher Taylor will play this afternoon at the Caramoor International Music Festival in Katonah, N.Y. It is the only two-keyboard instrument Steinway ever made, and Mr. Taylor considers it the perfect piano for the piece he will perform there, Bachâ??s â??Goldbergâ? Variations.
