I have some comments about a Pearl River piano I tuned today. It's a 
brand new UP120S (48" studio upright), just out of the box, and after a 
tuning, I was very impressed with the tone - a lot of piano for the 
money. I was equally pleased with the regulation and the quality of 
parts and construction. The keys and everything inside were picture 
perfect. I only had to increase the let off to compensate for our 
coastal climate.

On the downside, I had trouble tuning the treble section (it went out of 
tune after the first pass) and I had to struggle with it a second time 
to get a stable tuning. I thought that there was a little too much 
friction in the tuning pin segment - above the pressure bar I noticed a 
second bearing mound covered with felt - and I'm concerned that it could 
get worse if the strings become rusty.

But other than having reservations about the triple bearing, I would 
have no qualms about recommending a UP120S or any of the larger Pearl 
River uprights.
