Hi Susan,
                Yes, a little 40" console with a compressed Stirling
action. Butt springs way too short. You name a problem, and they seem to
excel in giving it a new twist.   Great training pianos.   Canadians treat
it with the same disdain that our American cousins do to the Betsy Ross.
