I tune many small Yamahas -- C1, G1, GH1, GP1, GC1 and now GE1. OK, so the C1 and the GC1 are OK. As for the rest, the less said the better. I tuned a Kawai GM-10 a few weeks ago. It was lovely. Absolutely lovely. Case, action, scale, full sostenuto, beautiful refined tone, all lovely, and tuned OK too. With this piano out there, I don't see much reason to be rescaling small Yamahas... Kent, I tune quite a few of these. I think Kawai did a nice job of making a small piano sound pretty good. You can actually tune the notes near the bass/treble strut. On the other hand, I've had customers complain about certain notes at the break on these, too. They are usually people who expect the piano to sound like a piano that cost 3 times as much. To my ear, this piano sounds leaps and bounds better than the pocket Yamahas I've tuned. Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
