Hi Ron

Please expound. I think I have to believe your assessment must be
correct in this instance, but I would be very interested to hear what
exactly you think the problem is. I almost get the feeling that I am
listening to a piano that someone installed some sound baffling into.

Again tho... its not that they dont have a charming voice.  Its just
unusually  subdued for an instrument this side. A bit of a transition
problem from bass to tenor is about the only other point I can make
offhand.

This is an upright btw.  There second try at this basic size.  125 II.


Cheers

The problem with these pianos is soundboard and not hammers, and the
soundboard problem is a design problem. Unfortunately, we service one
of these instruments (GP-178) at Sydney Town Hall on a regular basis.
