Yes.  The treble is a disaster!  All kinds of metallic sounds.  Voice it down, and it doesn’t make enough sound.  A former tech said the termination under the frame of the treble is the problem, and the old equipment wasn’t making good, crisp frames at that time.  Attempts to correct it  failed.

Could you describe what characteristics of the piano doom it to being labeled a total lemon?

We own a D, which was built in 1972, and is a total lemon.  I am thinking that I want to surplus it, because if it is rebuilt I can’t be sure it will be a good piano.  I would welcome any opinions on this!

Thanks,
