We have here probably one of the worst cases of Piano shaped objects ever made. For a while techs over here were attempting to simply replace both action and keys with wood parts. In the end it simply is not worth the time and effort. Lindners simply disintegrate given about 20 years. Richard Brekne >> Actually it's not for me. It's for a small dealer who bought one, and is now trying to fix it to sell. I tried to tell him to burn it, but he doesn't give up that easy. Wim >> Wim, I also join the others in their opinion of the Irish made piano. The dealer I do work for took one in on trade and asked me to "make it feel better" so they could re-sell. All I could do was pray that I wasn't going to break some plastic things. There was a note pasted to the inside on the plastic tuning pin cover that said "If you need parts, contact the airport in Shannon Ireland." That was it!...........The piano was sold to a poor family for $100.00 and I was called to make one final tuning.YECH! It was in tact but spacing was impossible and the mechanism worked but was complete waste of time and no amount of regulating seemed to yield anything good! A good candidate for the Trebuchet.
