Don wrote: Two pianos of the same make >and size may differ quite dramatically in their stability. Hi Don, I'll vouch for that one as well. The store I work for has 5 Baldwin studio pianos that they use for rentals. They are all aprox. the same age, and the same model numbers. But there's one of them in particular that is much better than the others. Most are the normal, what you would expect of a Baldwin studio, type pianos. But this one is very stable, easy to tune, and holds like a rock. I can tune it, bounce it across town on the back of a truck, let some performer beat the living daylights out of it, bounce back to the store, and only have a couple of unisons to touch up to send it out again, if that. I sure wish I knew what the difference was!! I'm stumped. But I hope it lasts forever :-) ...(at least as long as I have to tune it...) <g> Seriously though, I really am interested in what actual physical factors would make the differences.? Anybody out there care to expound? Have a good day, Brian Trout
