Hi folks,

I had some experience with new pleyel grands three years ago. The dealer I
worked for then sold a few. I too think they are about the same in their
tonal caracter as the Schimmel piano, maybee a little softer but at that
time they wernīt so well regulated. I recall one emergency service I had to
do on one of them, it was rented for a jazz concert and the tricord dampers
were fitted so wrong to the unison I had to cut the felt up in the middle of
the damper and also cut the part going out under the string. The felt was
leaning on the middle string, so the left and right string was ringing. I
guess they should have used wider felt.
The uprights I donīt remember much about more then that the finish was very
nice.
Nice piano but nothing I get wild about.

greetings

  David,

  Tremendous quality. I carry them. Not a Bosie, but right there with
Schimmel, how is that for short and sweet?
