Steve. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Steve Martin=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2004 6:24 AM Subject: Kawai CX-5H question. Hello list I wonder if anyone can help. The Kawai CX5H is about 7 or 8 years old = and has pretty much been dogged by problems most of its short life. I = started looking after it about 5 yrs ago and first up all the tuning = pins had gone rusty so we had to fix that. The people are very lovely = but at the same time are not at all content with their shiny almost new = Kawai piano. The tuning stability of the thing is not good at all!! We installed a = dampp chaser earlier in the year and although this has helped with = sticking notes it has not done a great deal for the tuning. The people have national and international musicians staying with them = and playing their piano and of course are quite embaressed by the whole = affair. So much so in fact that they're thinking of asking Kawai to take = back their piano. Here's one thing that I did think of and was wondering whether anybody = else has done it and that is to build back posts into the piano? What do = ya'll think?? Also the action shudders when a key is hit hard does anyone know why = this is? I also pulled up quite a bit of lost motion a month ago in the = piano and went back 2 weeks ago and there was almost as much there as = before I pulled it up???!! I'd appreciate any comments and anyone elses experience with the CX-5H. Thanks ahead of time for your thoughts. Steve Martin. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
