It was an interesting piano. The tuning pins were a little = tighter than I would have liked to have had to deal with, but it tuned = quite nicely. No problems at the breaks. No major false string = problems, not even in the high treble. The main thing that I noticed = was that it had a BIG sound. (It's also a very heavy piano. There are = a lot of small grands that don't weigh as much... but that's another = story.) =20 Does anyone have any input on that big brass weight through the = soundboard down at the bass bridge? The bass has a big, rather throaty = sound, almost resembling an electronic sound. I've heard a few = rumblings from time to time about the concept of loading the soundboard = in the area of the bass bridge, perhaps to change impedance?. But I was = hoping that perhaps someone might have a more reasoned idea of the = science behind this thing. (Were you involved in designing this thing, = Del? If so, I'd be interested in any comments you'd like to share.) I know I often am critical of some of the best pianos, but I kind of = like this one. I know there will likely be a number of people who would = not like it, and that's ok. If anyone has a comment, feel free.
