It had just been rebuilt and purchased from another state. I took my daughter to play the keys. That sort of worked. It's hard to get someone else to play the keys and intervals like you want. The torque on the pins was off the scale. I would think 200+, so, very hard to manipulate. I hope those will loosen up with subsequent tunings. A couple of hammers grazed strings on adjacent notes and there wasn't time to fix those" Bob et al, It is my fervant wish, that this sort of "rebuilding" would simply go = away, but alas, there is always some yahoo, out there, that thinks = "Rebuilding" is a "do-it-yerself"/simple matter! Grrrr! It's unfortunate = that you had to suffer that. AND, pity the poor "pianist" that had to = try to entertain with such a mess. Truly Saddens me. I think this is one = of the main reasons the Squar Grand has gotten a "Bad Rap". When = Restoration is done properly, these instruments are truly a delight, = albeit different. The sound of a properly restored Square or Square = Grand is a trip down a unique historical path. I know I'm "preaching to = the choir", so don't think I'm chastising any of you, because I'm not. = It's just sad. :-( Best Regards, Best regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
