Suzuki Pianos

[William R. Monroe]

David,

In my experience, some dealers do that, unfortunately rather than comparing
two pianos for what they really are, many dealers purposely neglect the
"other" brand of piano to emphasize the niceties of thier own.  Perhaps a
good concept, but in the hands of (some) salespeople.............

Just my experience.

Respectfully,
William R. Monroe

tone.  Extremely tight tuning pins...a real job with my Charles Faulk
hammer...should have gone back for the Yamaha on this one.  His daughter is
enjoying playing so I'm talking him in to trading it for a Yamaha or
Kawai...who sells Charles Walters on the Pennisula?   It seems to me a
dealer with better quality pianos could make use of something like this for
customers to compare with when in the store.   Anyone do that?
