I gotta raise the same line of questioning as Dave here...your description doesnt neccessarily mean any big fix is required. Just how bad is the problem, and just how much work do you need to do to fix it. Ok... I agree that on a new piano this is ... well ... quite frankly disgusting.. grin. But hey.. that seems to be life in the cheap lane (which happens to be the busiest lane around). If you can move the flanges, and / or burn the shanks and not cause (preferably ease) other action problems in the course of a couple hours... well....?? What gripes me about this kind a thing is this all to common refusal on the part of too many dealerships to ensure (and pay for) good pre floor placement preperation of the "instruments" they sell. Ticks me off... grin...
