[CW] Begali 70th Anniversary Key - Special Edition -

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

The Stradivarius model has been discontinued so there is no point playing
the what if game unless you happen upon a used model. To answer your
question though, The Strad employed torsion springs rather than pivot axle
and ball bearings. It like the Sculpture used magnets for return force. The
Strad definitely was not designed for a heavy handed operator who tended to
slap the key like a bug. It could afford a very light touch if desired.
The website says it is: The 70th Anniversary key is a Special Edition of
our acclaimed design of the Stradivarius key, commemorating the 70th
anniversary of Pietro Begali factory
activity, and only 424 pieces will ever be made.

Bruna Begali, can you clarify this? Is the 70th Anniversary Special Edition
a Stradivarius key with torsion springs, or does it have a pivot axle and
ball bearings? Jim Hoge is saying it doesn't have torsion springs. I think
we should know.
