> Sohmers that were made in New York city were much more > stable, then the ones made in Conneticut and Pennsylvania. Well, I don't know about the pianos made elsewhere but I can tell you that the Sohmers made in Astoria Queens were the least stable of any pianos in my customer base in New York from 1966 through 1982. I dreaded any climate change because I knew I was in for major double tuning of all Sohmers. I developed a real attitude for them. >From 1988 through 1997 the four Sohmers in my stock at Rutgers University, New York made, went ballistic with any change in humidity. I had Sohmers, Kawais and Yamahas in the same building and the humidity went from 15% to 85% per year. The sohmers were insane. Climate control systems DID stabilize the little puppies. Newton
