Okay, so the little Yamy had a "thubby" sound. What leads you to conclude it was because of the chipboard (more than likely MDF) cabinet core? Personally, I'm quite sure any "thubby" sounds were a direct result of the plastic keytops - anyone knows plastic will never sound like ivory.

Caused by extremely tight tuning pins and perhaps the wrong type of steel, in combo. (It also had a chipboard cabinet core, which made it sound "thubby". )
