>Hi Folks...

>I just ran into this instrument the other day, and decided to purchase

>original.  Piano sounds reasonably ok... action sucks a rock and will 
>need a complete renovation.  What I am writing about is that the

>stiffness... the whole length of the long bridge.

>Anyone seen this before and care to expound a bit on the roll this is 
>supposed to play and how well it does it ?
