Les: I generally like Kawai pianos but I've never thought of the UST-8 (formerly SC3) as being a very good instrument. If the wrapped strings on the bass bridge were ok, and the plain wires on the treble bridge tuned up alright, I'd wonder about something unusual. Was the sustain ok? It's not been one of my favorite pianos, but I thought they usually tune up alright. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 4/2/2002 at 9:47 AM Leslie W Bartlett wrote: >Tuned above piano yesterday, and the lowest three notes, bi-chords, on >the treble bridge were almost untuneable.
