Now that is a "name"!  According to the "Atlas", this 6'1" model N-185 grand is a joint venture buy a man of that name and Young Chang. According to the serial number this piano was manu. in 1994. And it was the first time I saw this piano.

Now the question. Could anything have "warpped" or was it that way from the time of delivery to this church/customer eight years ago and the piano was never serviced since delivery.  The pitch was 50 to 100c flat, so I don't know how they were playing it. Several of the damper wires in the tenor and low treble are rubbing so tight to the right unisons that they are muted but the dampers function normally. Also a number of hammers are also out of alignment to the left so are only hitting two strings. The lyre is coming apart so that is in the shop to be reglued.

Anyone else have a "stories" about this piano?

Thanks
Ken Gerler
