Hi Les, >Try this test. The next time you see a Samick, have > someone play a 7-8 note chord and hold it down. Now lightly rest your fin- > gers on the long side of the case. What do you feel? Nothing, nada, zip. > The truth is that junk woods don't sing. I have a Samick SG-185 (6'1") grand, and I tried your test. My daughter-in-law played chords along the full keyboard, and I could feel vibrations anywhere along the rim and on top of the lid. Then she played some music and the vibrations were very noticible--like tingling in my fingers. One of the things I really like about the Samick is its tone.... Admittedly, I'm not a pianist, but I am a lover of classical music, and I really like the mellow tone. When my daughter, who is a music graduate of BYU, plays classical music, I'm in "seventh heaven". To each his own preference, I guess. /Allen
