Kimball LaPetit..

[Phil Bondi]

..just had my second experience with this piano..and my first with an
action problem..I must say to Bill Bremmer that it has been my
experience so far that Kimball does/did makes a very solid
instrument..I have a personal problem with any Grand that doesn't
measure at least 5', but that's personal..It tuned up just fine and
with the exception of the single-wound strings, it sounded good for a
piano of this size..

..the action problem I had was a first for me..the action in these is
something I have not experienced yet..but I was able to fix her
problem..a very small piece of rubber had come loose..this piece is
used as a stop for the Jack adjustment screw..I know LB is having a
coronary right now with my lack of knowledge of the *proper terms*,
but I think we all know what I mean..and I DID fix her problem and she
was happy..sorry LB..as busy as I've been, I have had no time to read
up and study Grand Action parts and their functions..I feel pretty
confident about troubleshooting and repairing most problems, but my
lack of the *proper terms* is still lacking..it'll come.

..how would you describe the action in this piano?..it is *Grand*, but
it's not *conventional*..inquiring rookie minds want to know..
