Mark, I had a horrible experience with a Sojin grand about 5 years ago. It was traded in to a dealer I did some work for by a rather "spritied church" (did I get that right?). They predictably beat the stuffing out of it and it became my duty to make something out of it so that it could be sold. Interestingly enough one of the things that was completely shot were the damper levers. They were such a strange construction that noone else's were even close and trying to get them from the Manufacturer was a nightmare to say the least. After many overseas phone calls to answering machines that went unanswered, faxes and letters too, I gave up and changed them with something from the supply house that ended up working but defeating the sostenuto. Best I could do with what I had to work with. I don't think that the parts situation has changed much and I really don't remember how much of the rest of it was so non standard. It's really something I try to block out ;-). Greg bases-loaded@juno.com wrote: > Greetings - > > I have been asked to look at a new 4'10" Sojin grand for a perspective > buyer.
