I respectfully disagree. The difference in cost between high and low = quality parts is not that much. =20 >><< If you are going to do the job, put forward the best effort with the = parts best suited to the instrument or don't do the job. The piano may = not give what you want, but a poor quality part will just make it worse. David Love davidlovepianos@earthlink.net Furthermore, lower-quality parts often need more reworking (repinning, = sometimes rebushing, realigning etc.) than better-quality and premium = parts so whatever you thought you were going to save on the initial = parts order is more than made up for in the time necessary for getting = the parts to work properly. Bottom line: How much is your time worth? Z!

Specifically, would = there be a=20 noticable difference in the sound quality or would it just be a = waste of=20 money? Ned Swift Lowell, MI "or would it just be a waste of money?" YES The reason a piano is of low quality is not because of the quality = of the parts, but because of the quality of workmanship and engineering = when the piano was made in the first place. If you're just going to = replace the parts, you'll never hear the difference. If you want to get = into redesigning the designing the piano, there might be a chance that = you can get a decent sound out of it. But just r! eplacing the parts = with expensive ones is not going to do it. Wim=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
