K&C SKV-48 question

[Kerry Cooper]

Terry,

 

You will find that the model Dean is talking about and the one that is 4 -5
years old, are poles apart. I serviced one like Dean's school piano and it
broke strings on a regular basis, however the latter models are much better
made and as you say, are a pleasure to tune.

Hmm, I have serviced this piano since they bought it new in '03/04. The tone
is actually quite warm and mellow. No problems with popping pins or faulty
strings, bass or otherwise. Also tuned and rendered very easily..almost as
fun to tune as a yamaha! Just not as high quality of course.

I service one of these models at a high school. They've had it about 20
years and it has held up fairly well with heavy use. It was popping bass
strings like crazy after 10 years and I put on a new set which have been
doing fine since. I've also replaced the little pivot bracket for the
sustain rod on the back side of the action a couple of times. This last time
I took down the damper spring tensions o relieve the stress on that bracket.


 

It is a Samick piano and has the usual clangy hard Asian hammers. The music
teacher likes it.
