"Blessing" piano (Chinese made)

[BSimon1234]

Just returned from inspecting a "Blessing" brand console/spinet piano, made in
china ten years ago. It had a real nice candy apple finish on the outside.

Inside - every action part was very loose. The people had moved it from wet
Sidney, Australia, to Colorado, then to even drier Phoenix. The pin torque
across the piano was 1 to 5 inch lbs. Tapping didn't add much, as the pins
seem bottomed out. They said it was just fine in Australia for ten years.

The action design reminded one of early birdcage uprights. Weird way to
install action(in a box frame), has a clunky spinet drop mechanism to kind of
whippens, on top of which sits the console type action, which can be lifted
out without detaching the spinet drop wires. 

Horrendous workmanship.

Just FYI
