      A company in town, now bankrupt,  sold TCM pianos,
for many years          "T trademark C continental M music".
This is a no-name piano with absolutely no markings on the plate,
frame, etc. The former owner of the store told me he got them
from East Germany, but refused to divulge the real company
name.

I could go on and on about the sins of this piano, but suffice to
say, in my experience, it is a definitive P.S.O.

"Tuned" one today, now its equally bad all over.
and thought I'd ask the list if they knew
of an East German  no-name retailers can put their own sticker on.

any ideas??

Clue..........

All the T.C.M's I have seen have "Pianic" printed on the hammer rail.

sometime the T.C.M. sticker is fallen off,
when I see the action, I feel a "Pianic" attack coming on.

A fine way to end the year.
