If ya'll (no, I'm not southern unless you count Southern CA. :P) think Everetts are good pianos, then one I regularly play once a month must need some work. It's a 45" studio upright that seriously needs voicing (very uneven - middle C is a dull thunk and F5 is extra bright, for example) and the bass probably needs to be restrung/rescaled (the entire bass is quieter and has an overall poor tone, especially the bottom octave or so). I don't have the serial #, but it has a case similar to Baldwin Hamiltons of the 60s to 70s (except this Everett is a darker wood (maybe mahogany but I'm not sure)). The name isn't on the fallboard, and I can't lift the lid (apparently it fastens on with an allen wrench, or is locked on (it's in an institutional setting)), so the only way I know it's an Everett is because a friend of mine who's an RPT (who afaik owns the piano I think but am not sure) told me what it is. >> SNIP << -- Stephen Airy stephenairy@fastmail.fm -- http://fastmail.fm - Sent 0.000002 seconds ago
