Kawaii qualities query

I own a model 600 (6') and it is in daily use.  Holds tuning extremely
well (I'm lazy and only tune it every couple of years !! - but then,
this is Southern CA). I have replaced the hammers, shanks and flanges,
and rebushed the keys. Could use strings and dampers, but tuning pins
are nice and tight.

The actions tend to get heavy feeling over time, but will come right
back with good service.  New knuckles might help.

Very nice one piece ivory keys - if they are still in place, take care
of them!
