Overall, I would say it's on the low end of grands (as you might expect). The only repairs I've had to do so far are regluing the lyre back together and taking care of a hammer that wouldn't return - this time it was the hammer flange pinning, tight in the bushing and loose in the birdseye. I haven't worked on the instrument for a while, but if I were inspecting one, I'd take a close look at the action center pinning. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary to bring to your attention. If you need more information, feel free to contact me.
