Case separation or delamination question

[Robert Edwardsen]

We have for Boston GP-178's which all had case separation within the first 2
years.  It hasn't changed.  They are not good sounding pianos but I think
that is an excessive downbearing issue/low tension scaling issue, not a
piano I would recommend.
