Yeeeeesssss (grin) but there is plate ring,, and then there is plate ring, if
you take my meaning. The S& S can be particularily anoying up in the de Capo
area if the hammers are allowed to get to hard, worn, etc. With their somewhat
er... active duplex it can get pretty loud. Still, anoying as that might be it
has a different "tinge" to it (to my ear at any rate) then a Yamaha in similiar
shape.
