Vincent, are you sure there's no confusion? The original Carrillo 96tet
piano, made by Sauter, is still in production and contains 8 octaves. That's
to say: the keyboard looks normal and has 97 (8x12+1) keys. But the piano
itself gives (logically) only one complete, ultrachromatic 96tet octave,
from C' to C"!

Please keep us informed!
