    I'm be soon evaluating a three year old Steinway L, Owned by an =
accomplished pianist. She is happy with the tone but describes the =
action as  VERY  difficult to play. The Steinway dealer has arranged for =
several visits by some very qualified techs representing both the dealer =
and the manufacturer. She is satisfied with the sincerity  of their =
efforts but is still very unhappy with the piano. I meet her at another =
older  Steinway L  in good condition that she found acceptable so I =
believe her expectations are realistic.  =20
    I remember a thread some time ago about pinning problems with this =
vintage Steinway.  Assuming the usual friction problems have been =
addressed, I.E. balance rail holes ,key bushings, keypins, capstans, =
knuckles etc. and regulation is correct  would action center  pinning be =
my most likely area of focus ? Possible action geometry problems ?=20
    My post is somewhat premature not having seen the piano yet, but =
perhaps those servicing more new Steinway's than I can direct me to some =
potential problem areas.
    As always your collective comments appreciated.
