Nick- I have found several of these pianos to be problematic. For me it has been very loose tuning pins! I have not worked on a 7 footer - perhaps more attention was paid to details. Can you evaluate/tune the instrument before the church takes the plunge? There is a reason the price is "attractive". Good Luck - lettuce know how it turns out. -Lou ----- Original Message ----- From: Nicholas Gravagne<mailto:ngravagne at gmail.com> To: pianotech at ptg.org<mailto:pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 2:34 PM Subject: [pianotech] Nordiska 7' grand Hello List, A church has an opportunity to purchase a four year-old 7' Nordiska at a very attractive clearance-sale price. I have never worked on one of these pianos. Assuming it checks out on the basics, who likes them out there; who doesn't; and why? Church sanctuary holds 500 folks max. No drums, no flame throwing PA EQ, meaning that services are fairly quiet and conservative. I know the pianists; they are not bangers but they do dig in as the music requires. This church does turn out an energetic choral piece on occasion. If chosen, the Nordiska will live in a non-dry area of mid Texas.
