    I'll second that motion.  I was called to look at a sticking key on =
a new Shubert.  The problem involved the muffler strip interfering with =
the hammer on one note.  The strip was incorrectly engineered and =
positioned, and in desperation I finally reversed it out of the way =
entirely.  In working on the instrument, it was obvious that cabinetry =
though looking good outwardly, (nice high gloss finish) was very poorly =
put together.  The side (end) vertical panels were so loose one could =
move them in and out 1/2 inch!  The keyslip was misaligned and loose (no =
apparent way to tighten it) the piano was literally falling apart before =
it began its life.  Someone needs to pull up their socks!  Mike Kurta, =
