John, I can only say that most birdcage pianos I have run into are as you describe, tho I have to admit I have run into some german made variants that were actually quite nice. I'd have to submit based on those experiences that a well made birdcage action piano is quite acceptable. I am not quiet so quick to condemn these as I was a few years ago, but most of them I look at are not worth the time of day to be sure. > > Regards, > John M.
