A have a 13 y/o Sauter 45" vertical for sale. The Resonnance model. Laminated bridge caps for one thing. The jacks have a second spring on the long arm to keep them firmly on the butt; RR Technology - what's that stand for?...Double Repetition? The touch was heavy but easing the damper springs brought it down to spec (there's a regulating spec decal on the hammer rail). One thing that bothered me was the height of the keys, 30 3/4" from the floor. It was a little uncomfortable to play. I removed the casters and installed some large nail-on glides. This dropped the height a little better than an inch and it is now at a comfortable playing height. I had to adjust the pedal travel because of this but you'd never know to look at it or play it that it was on casters. I spent a good deal of time hunting for a squeek on the pedals, it turned out to be the bottom edges of the knee-board rubbing against the top-inside-corner of the toe blocks.(ya gotta luv polyester) A little sanding on the knee board and all is quiet. The bass is solid and clear, a real nice piano. Regards, Jon Page, piano technician Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass. mailto:jonpage@comcast.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
