[CAUT] Advice

Jeff,

How did you find the pinblocks on those?  I last saw new K&C about a 
year ago and the pins were so tight they made latter-day Baldwins 
look like pencils stuck into warm marshmallows.  Otherwise, once 
setup and some voicing done, as you note they were certainly decent 
for practice instruments.

Best.

Horace
