Lance, While I take your point regarding spring cords, here in "temperate" New England "grey market" pianos are a gamble. The average winter RH% up here can be very, very low -- much, much drier than Loiusiana has ever experienced, and significantlty drier than Japan too. One winter and it can be a no torque pinblock and multicracked soundboard. Yes DC system can save the day but only if it's installed before enduring a northern winter. While we have had an unseasonably warm early winter, Canadian air masses have sent us single digit and 'teens Farenheit this week. Keep warm, Patrick Draine On 1/27/07, Lance Lafargue <lafargue at bellsouth.net> wrote: > I am not a believer in the "Grey Market" differentiation.
