Samick Grand with No Key Leads

[Farrell]

I'll see you in Dallas this summer. Maybe I'll tell the lady to wait 'till August!

She has three problems. Many hammers not checking - I told her it may be solved by adjustment, but likely the hammer need to be tailed. That is the biggest trouble because some of the hammers actually bobble.

Second is regulation - not real bad, but she is very advanced player and it should be right. I suspect this may even be contributing to not checking from tight rep springs and shallow dip.

Third is heavy action and irregular touchweight. 60 to 70 grams DW. She may let me do a component balance job.

I am very pleasantly surprised by this little piano. The bass sounds like a small piano, but the break from bass to tenor is tonally seamless. Not a hint of killer octave. And the piano is strong, yet mellow throughout. One of the better sounding micro grands I have heard. (I helped her pick it out!)
