The one I have most acess to is in one of the instructors rooms at the University. It is heavily practiced on. Three years old and needs new key bushings and easily could do with a new set of hammers... to give you an idea. Its not like it doesnt actually have some power... the instructor breaks strings on it regularly... especially in the high treble, its just that you get this feeling that you have to pound the thing to get any feeling of that power... like I said.. hard to describe. The back rail tip might be something... I will give that a check. Thanks muchly RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
