Sorry about that. I thought I'd mentioned it. That's why I was 
initially drawn to the
agraffes. Besides the fact that several are not aligned correctly. I 
always thought it
sounded like a termination problem of some kind.

Anyway, I just heard from the dealer and his tech "fixed" the problem 
by letting down
the tension and pulling it back up. Now my next question is 'how long 
will that last'? :-)

I may actually have a chance to find out if it will last a while 
before and if we buy it.
April 22nd, Stravinski's Les Noces is being done here. For that, I 
need 4 grand pianos.
We have 2 already in that hall, I think I can move another D from the 
student recital hall
and if the head of our piano dept. likes the instrument, I'm going to 
ask the dealer to
"loan" it to us at least through that concert. We can give a verbal 
OK to us buying it and
if the chair likes it, I'm relatively sure he'll do it.

That just might kill two birds with one stone. :-) Thanks again, everyone.
