hi there all your responses to this thread have been interesting to me and it seems to a few others as well. the disgust of finding a really bad piano passed off as a good piano certainly is hard to forget. usually it means someone lost out on getting thier musical education. i mean a piano of any brand, gone bad. one comment i read suggested the use of the Damp Chaser product in the suspect pianos. what do you think of that? this winter with the long cold spell here i can think of three 6ft grands that i serviced that really suffered in that dry spell . a kawaii, a yamaha, and a stienway. all dropped about a 1/4 tone, the kawaii showed up loose pins in the lower tenor, the stienway even had a few keys warp. its the old saying 'pianos don't kill pianos ....people do'. so the question.....would a product like Damp Chaser salvage some of these grey market pianos? you know some books suggest it. all the best wayne
