It did need juicing in the top 2-3 octaves, but not urgently. I hung my own. I have found the pre-hung need a LOT of travel and shank burning, too much to suit me, the three times I tried that route. The flanges were papered, so supposedly they were pre-traveled, I guess. It would have been quicker to start by removing all that paper. I removed more than I added. And I had to twist the shanks much more than I ever like to, especially the bass and tenor, which were leaning several degrees (not very consistently - in sections of several).
