Hello All! I have three differnet requests for a little information tonight regarding three pianos I ran into in the last few days. 1. I have a customer with a Baldwin console that still has the dreaded Corfam on the hammer butts and catchers. Does anyone remember when the article appeared in the Journal on replacing this stuff? I ordered the replacement set from Baldwin, which is still free. 2. Another customer went to a University piano sale and bought a Nordiska piano, which she was subsequently told (after delivery, I might add) is made in China. It actually seems like a respectable piano, very European in design and quality. The only fault I found was some tuning pins that didn't have the amount of torque that I would expect in a new piano. 3. At the same sale another person bout a Kawai 902 console. This one has 4/0 tuning pins. I've never seen this in a new piano. Any idea what might be going one there? Maybe somebody screwed up the first stringing and had to redo it with larger pins? ] Thanks for your time. Patrick Poulson, RPT
