>All of the Pianos drop 30-50 cents pitch in the first year >The majority have very loose tuning pins >Any screw removed from any site in the Piano has at least 25% rust the >length of the screw Hi Robin, I wouldn't expect any of this to improve as it "seasons" in your climate. Coming in with the problems they have, they will only get worse. Someone has a web page up of horror stories about these beasties, with all the gory details. Maybe he'll ring in with the URL. Meanwhile, I'd just say no. You might run across an occasional pleasant surprise, but for the most part, they're the pits. >The sound quality is not as good as it could be.( sound board loosing its >crown ?) Mostly panel (compression) crowned boards, after 20 years in a high humidity environment under string load, then coming to a low humidity environment? I'd call that a pretty safe bet. Ron N
