A request from Chile

[Fernando Rosas]

Jon:

One important thing for me is to see the process of applying the Stanwood
system on my piano. If I send the action then I would not see that, unless I
make the trip too. And comparing total cost of travelling I think it's less
expensive to hire a technician.

The action is heavy for my taste, maybe for someone would be OK. I've played
other Yamahas (other models) or Steinways that are much lighter. I get tired
playing fast passages. Last year came to my house an authorized Yamaha
technician from Panama and he solved all friction issues, so it can't be
done anything else regarding friction. So I started to think that the
problem is a geometric one, and then the solution would be Stanwood's
system.

Best Regards,

Fernando

Consider the advantages and disadvantages of each venture:
Crating the action and shipping may be less than paying a tech's expenses.

Is the action too heavy?  Just what is it about the action which you are
dissatisfied?
