Truly interesting.

Activating the resonance with the knee, though, I've never seen that!

It seems to me I understood that it can play piano and forte but it doesn't have the escapement?

No no, of course it does! The guy is talking specifically about "escapement" and describes its action.

Besides, modern pianos have "double escapement" because old ones had simple escapement...
