Pearl River piano

[Patrick Greene]

I tried to tune a 42" console and it was perfectly horrible.  I hated tuning
that thing.  It seemed to be very unstable and by the time I got done tuning
it, it felt like it needed to be tuned again.  The pins were too loose for a
brand new piano, but the exterior finish was beautiful.  If the studio 52"
are anything like this console, I would steer clear of it and find you a
good used Yamaha.  I think you would come out better in the long run.
