If not then the action centers need to be addressed 'now' and not wait until they "play in". Without a doubt the centers will get looser as time passes but when one pays for a S&S it ought to play as well as an S&S price would indicate it should. How long should one wait for a 40 (+) thousand dollar piano to "play in"...6 months?... one year?...two years? In my opinion the problem should be addressed, in some manner, now..........future problems will develop and that is what 'normal maintenance' is all about. My view. Jim Bryant (FL)
