Re: Ridenour Speranza compared

Nellsonic...the point of my post was that the Speranza is, based on my examination of the keywork, a derivative of the professional 576B/BC and not the student 146.

But you do bring up a good point regarding the quality of the keywork, which indeed cannot be gauged by the photographs. My 2010-vintage 576BC has soft keywork and that is why I don't take it out on jobs anymore--I've been stuck out on the job with an unplayable instrument because of it. If the Speranza has keywork assemblies incorporating old, soft Lyrique and/or Arioso parts, that would be a cause for major concern.
