Silly Question #1 for 2006

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
Be prepared to sell a pitch-correction, a full regulation and 
voicing...Sounds like this one will be fully un-prepped.  Explain how 
new piano wire stretches rapidly and how tuning stability is a 
function of the number of tunings a new piano gets.  They can keep it 
in good tune by tuning more frequently at first or they can deal with 
instability for a few years.

I'm not sure if this model has the slow close hinges on the 
fall-board.  They're not RPT proof ;-)  Check for packing in the 
trap-work.  Most likely there is a strip of wood tied over the 
hammers or styrofoam loose over the hammers.  Watch out for a capstan 
on the hammer rail wound up into the pin-block.  I don't know if 
Yamaha is doing this too.

Above all, have fun.
