Why would they want to have a success eh? >*grin* It's always interesting to come across the odd commercial grade piano, which in spite of its heritage, defies the odds to produce good tone. Loop and eye stringing is an excellent system, since it allows for the maintenance of uniform (parallel) backlength string angles for each unison group, at a cheaper cost than individual eye stringing. Does anybody know if the G200 had a heavier hitch plate than Yamaha/Steinway type plate weights? If the plate were heavy enough, the bell might be an unnecessary appendage.
