Should a Floor tuner try to fix a host of "sticky", and I mean REALLY BADLY STICKING keys.. at least 6-8, on a BRAND NEW piano, or should the store owner return it as a defective piano? I would think that when a brand new piano arrives to the showroom, the action should be free from serious problems such as this. These keys were so outragiously ILL-FITTED that after the key is depressed it must be forcibly lifted back to its original position. The brand in question is "Niemeyer", which I had never heard of until today. I am told this (verticle) is a low priced piano, and i would not be surprised if the manufacturer skimps on their "Quality Control". Anyway, I have no problem regulating/ repairing used, or as we like to call them "Pre-owned" Pianos, but I just think it's rediculous to have to make repairs on a NEW, just arrived piano! I brought this defect to the attention of the store manager, and he noted the model, and went about his business; what action he'll take is not yet known. I will inquire tomorrow as to what he wants me to do, if anything. Terry ______________________________________________________________ Get free Internet service and email at http://www.worldspy.com
