I do tune two other LaPetites and I never noticed anything like this, and I think I would have noticed. I don't believe this was done in the factory, due to the irregular shapes of the plywood shims. They look like they were put in there in haste. Of course Kimball was well known for the extra time and effort they put into their pianos ;-) I serviced one of these once for a customer after I had specifically advised her against the purchase. The dealer was footing the bill for her first tuning, and after I had finished it she asked for my opinion of her new piano. I thought for a moment and then replied "This piano exhibits the kind of quality for which Kimball products are well known." Try doing that with a straight face! - Mark ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
