In the five years I worked on them I did not find one
piano what I could recommend to a friend.

list of problems I came across:

Wrest plank:
                thay must of used a crooked drill!
                NP Tuning pins loos after two years!
                Blue tuning pins they did not turn they
                crunched, and v.often broke off at the
                plate level.

Bridges:
                a lot of them had to be re-chiseled and
                the bridge pins taped over.

Actions:
                the only good bit. However, v.bad
                Regulating, action tendid to be slugish


Strings:        Well!! some were polished and some were
                plated and this on the same piano.


for the price we were paying,m they were not bad
for a little old lady who is not working them hard, but
after you have put a new plank in, re-strung, re-regulated
them. not so god an investment.

you would do better with 20 year old good quality pianos
they last longer.


have fun
