The 52 inch upright and the other style upright. I forget the model no.s. Any way I find the tone to be the typical tinny Asian sound which has really deteriorated over the first year. Practice room pianos you know. SOunds like a job for snuggle or maygbe super snuggle(grin). You'all discussed this before?. Have some had success making a musical instrument out of this slick piece of marketing. They sure seem stingy to me.   Dale </BLOCKQUOTE> You must have gotten a bad bunch of pianos. The ones we got sound really nice. If you want to get some of the tinniness out, try steam voicing. I would not try to do the snuggle routine yet. That might be a bit drastic, especially on new pianos. Wim </HTML>
