I didnt know that it was established yet that it does. The worst offenders I have ever seen on this particular front are (sorry Wim) Petrof uprights. I have always assumed it was due to the kind of felt they use throughout the action. Very soft and squishy compared to the hard compact Yamaha felt. I wouldnt mind seeing some kind of documention that any particular piano make suffers from this problem more then another before I buy without further aduie that Yamahas are most susceptable. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
