It is actually a Klima piano(about 150 a year made in the Czech republic), which is an excellent piano even without the Renner-built Fandrich action. First time I've ever seen that action. The speed of it was impressive even in an exhibit hall that contained a Stanwood System S and S A(does that make it an SS S and S?) If you haven't seen one of these uprights, check one out if you get the chance; it will definitely make you wonder why people by cheapo grands.
