At the Petrof dealer where I work, we do a full regulation of every new piano 
out of the box.  So, I've never found that to be a problem.  It's always been 
a key easing problem, in spite of taking care at the store to ease any tight 
key bushings.  We even polish the key pins and use teflon spray to lubricate 
them.  And still, I find the sticking keys to be tight bushings that need 
easing.
