Dear list, It seems ironic to me that the piano that is perceived to be the best has the shortest (well, almost) in the industry. It seems like it should just be the opposite. I have run across pianos with precious little or no crown (depending on the time of year ) with a good tone quality as long as there was downbearing. I have run across droves of people who will spend thousands of dollars on a piano. then pay to have it refinished, and then call a tuner to tune it only to find it has insurmountable problems. What happens first should be last. The crazy thing is it seems that the tuner turns out to be the bad guy in the mind of the piano owner. James Grebe from St. Louis pianoman@inlink.com
