Flat Facts

[Kent Swafford]

Perhaps you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting a 4'11" Yamaha 
GA-1, also with plain wire down to B2. Where here in Kansas City the 
tenor of a GH-1 may move 25 cents more than the rest of the scale, the 
tenor of a GA-1 will move about 45 cents more than the rest of the 
scale. IOW, as bad as the GH-1 is, the GA-1 is almost twice as bad. The 
GA-1 is the only piano model I have ever seriously considered declining 
to service.
