I agree with you, Dan.? They are super nice pianos.? The thing that really amazes me about them is how well regulated they are out of the box, and how well they stay that way.? Tuning is the same thing:? very stable, and it doesn't take years to get them that way..? Underrated, to be sure.? Nice folks, too.

Smaller company, a bit more limited distribution, perhaps, and not the "Big Brand Name" image, but their 6' 4" grand is definitely on my short list of keepers.

We have a few here from the 20's and are really dependable. ?The new ones I serviced at the store in Seattle were easy to tune and prep out of the box, and had a rich, warm sound with that carrying, powerful bass that they were famous for in the old days...
