I tuned a kawai KG-1 today. It's a gray market piano...two pedals. There was very little let-off and in some cases, no let-off. Anyone hear of possible "growing action brackets" in Kawais in a manner similar to Webber action brackets? This women paid $6,000 for this piano. It needs regulation and has very marginal tuning pin torque. We have a tech around here who sells these gray market pianos. Unfortunately, most of them that I service need work...especially the grands. I'm sure the women is none too happy. She's had the piano one year. -- Frank Cahill Associate Member, Piano Technicians Guild Northern Va
