I agree completely.  Yes, one will surprise me from time to time too.  I
just wish really good YC's were the norm and not a "surprise."

I also note that even the ones that "surprise" me quickly wear.  Is it me,
are do Young Chang's have really cheezy bushing cloth, and other wool
components?  I've never seen another brand that rattles and clatters so much
after only a year's use.  Has anyone else noticed how noisy these pianos get
with only a moderate amount of use?  Model 185 grands seem to get especially
noisy in a very short while.
