I recently reviewed a Kawai RX for a local school district which wanted to know, what if anything needed to be done to it?! I found, among other things, something curious. The damper timing tapered from half hammer travel at the bottom of the long bridge to circa one quarter hammer travel at C5. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a Kawai S.O.P. thing? I had played it before and didn't notice anything, but, armed with this info I played it again and thought it felt a little heavier than Kawais usually do here, not badly so. It was suggested that I should check the glide bolts on this puppy, and I will. Andrew Anderson
