I have some comments about a Pearl River piano I tuned today. It's a brand new UP120S (48" studio upright), just out of the box, and after a tuning, I was very impressed with the tone - a lot of piano for the money. I was equally pleased with the regulation and the quality of parts and construction. The keys and everything inside were picture perfect. I only had to increase the let off to compensate for our coastal climate. On the downside, I had trouble tuning the treble section (it went out of tune after the first pass) and I had to struggle with it a second time to get a stable tuning. I thought that there was a little too much friction in the tuning pin segment - above the pressure bar I noticed a second bearing mound covered with felt - and I'm concerned that it could get worse if the strings become rusty. But other than having reservations about the triple bearing, I would have no qualms about recommending a UP120S or any of the larger Pearl River uprights.
