I recently tuned a Yamaha G-2 grand that was in = excellent condition (close to new). The woman had just bought it for = $2000 (It was easily worth $5000 to $6000) because the action was really = screwed up. The former owner's tech reportedly told the former owner = that the keybed must have warped because the action would not come out, = and was lifted up in the bass end. You guessed it! The back leg bolts were switched with the bass side = front leg bolts (the mover was careful to put the bolts into the same = holes!). Switch bolts and POOF! Great little piano working just fine.
