Astin-Weight pianos

[Joe & Penny Goss]

Jeannie,
If properly voiced the Astin-Weight uprights have a very large clean sound
for there size. 
I enjoy tuning all that are in my service. They hold pitch well and are
easy to work on. 
Good construction techniques are used in their manufacture. The company
sells more pianos in Europe than the USA.
