    Anyone run into a Thomas piano?  This is a small console with both sharp and flat keys made entirely of plastic.  Instead of balance rail pins, the keys are held in place by a thin blade of spring steel (which flexes and breaks).  Weird tuning pins too, they look like they are driven in all the way to the pinblock (if it even has one).  Practice felt rail held in place by pieces of angle iron-homemade looking.  Terrible tone and touch, this is the worst example of piano building I've seen, almost as if they tried to use organ parts to put this one together.
