     I have seen this, a lot!  It amazes me that a piano company that 
consistantly has such sloppy manufacturing can, with a straight corporate face, call 
itself the "standard" piano of the world.  And what really amazes me is that I 
never saw this kind of incompetent construction from the same manufacturer 
between 1900 and 1940.  Where did the quality go?
