It does have a nice character... except the high treble...where it steadily thins out until its really quite bad at the very top. Pianists try and stay away from the last 4-5 notes. Its a wooden frame with a metal slate running along the back edge to hold the hitch pins. I am not sure about the tension, tho I would imagine this to be the case. Pitch is 440 +/- a hz or two. Its sort of a hybrid instrument given the rescaling and action work. > >--Cy Shuster, TSO-- >Rochester, MN > > RicB Richard Brekne RPT NPTF Griegakadamiet UiB
