Tschuldigung, natürlich double-curved
Peer comment(s):

agree Chris Rowson (X) : (but don´t be confused by the quote from maple, these two bits round the dots can´t refer to the same instrument.)

Karlo is probably right ...

I don´t know either "doppel-geschungene" or "doppel-geschwungene", but "double-curved bentside" is a term that could well apply to a Hammerflügel. I know it from hardpsichords, where it means that the curved side has two curves, the large one occupying most of the right-hand side (from the player´s point of view), and a smaller one at the tail.

The alternative to this smaller curve is to have an angle there, often called a fishtail. Thus double-curved bentside means that it has the second curve rather than a fishtail. It´s harder to make.
Peer comment(s):

agree Karlo Heppner : Ich sehe, du kennst dich aus. Aber es ist ziemlich sicher im Deutschen doppelt geschwungen.

Stimmt. Das weißt du natürlich besser als ich, aber überzeugend ist es für mich auch.
