Hi, I will be travelling and will need to hire a piano for practise and the options are basically a Yamaha C3 or a Petrof III. I had initially decided on the Petrof because it is a bit larger and I've never been a big fan of Yamaha pianos (though I performed on an S4 which was quite nice). But I've been reading comments about the Petrof action on this list and the web and now I'm concerned. Ric Brekne suggested replacing various overly-soft felt, some of which I would feel comfortable doing without informing the dealer - such as the front punchings (since I can just put back the originals). But really, since this will be my practise instrument, I can't have it feeling particularly weird. Any thoughts. Thanks! - John
