Rob Hopefully you'll read this before you take off in the morning. I have to agree with Susan. Yes, Lester plastic elbows, and in some cases, plastic flanges and dampers. But if the customer didn't say anything about keys not working, or being "down", perhaps the plastic elbows have been replaced with wood a long time ago, and the rest of the action is OK, too. My experience has been that Lesters, plastic elbows not withstanding, are not bad pianos. They are not an Acrosonic, but when all the parts are working, I'll put one up against a Wurly or Kimball spinet any day.

She aid the previous owner told her he hadn't tuned it in a while. She bought it o her young daughters can learn to play the piano. I'm going to their home expecting the worst. My question to all of you, is, hat are the things I should be looking for? Does this model have any recurring roblems I should be alert for? Any help is appreciated...
