Pearl River

[Tony Caught]

Clyde,

Yes the pianos are better than they were but they still sound Chinese
(suspect soundboards are local pine) A lot better evenness in the keyboard
(all bushings evenly sloppy) Tuning seemed OK first time. Not sure about
fifth tuning.  NO, I would not recommend them.

Regards,
