Should he buy the Young Chang?

[Tom Driscoll]

I serviced one of the new  pramberger grands recently. Sorry I don't  have
the model # on hand , but I think it was this same one your client is
considering. The piano and was in need of some regulation, but was much
improved from earlier Y.C. models. Great bass tone, nice "fit and finish" .
This was a piano right from the factory , not through a dealer ,needing
prep, and the only problem not correctable with normal procedures was
oversize balance rail holes ..i.e. pulley keys.----- Original Message -----
