These are not brand new, they usually take a while to filter down to us independent tuners, and am wondering if any of you are noticing the same thing. Regards, James Grebe from St. Louis pianoman@inlink.com >> I have noticed the same shallow, bright sound on many new grands. I am wondering if this is due to the rim of the case being some sort of composite material laminated with that black shiny stuff. Could it be that the old hardwood rims tied it all together in some way? Cause the new stuff is souless to me on the whole. This includes much of the higher grade new stuff with the one piece aliqouts. Anyone? Regards, Sam Grossner- Chicago.
