I'm sure your statement is correct. I am also sure that some new pianos are nice pianos, and some of the same model are not so nice. High-end Brand X piano manufacturer I think can get away with having only a percentage of their pianos come out nice. Most/many folks that buy pianos - even high end ones - don't know that much about pianos and/or don't play very well, and can't tell the difference between a really nice piano, and one that is below par. We, as rebuilders rebuilding a clients ONLY piano - we have to have EVERY piano come out very nice. Certainly at a minimum our worst must be average. I think this is a good basis for us needing better building methods than what the factories use. Just a thought to chew on.
