Well, I 'm with you there... and Steinway isnt the only make when its first mentioned... But I wonder how much of the less then wonderful action work on S&S's comes from those academy students. I understand in the Steinway academy they dont have the luxury of affording 2 standing grands for each student to work on as they do at Yamaha... so the S&S academy students are just put to work on pianos that are to be sold right after. I also understand that the Hamburg Academy is finding even this too expensive for them... so they are cutting the first course down to 2 weeks with more hours to be worked each day. Perhaps S&S are begining to feel the pinch again ??? hmmmm ??? Cheers RicB > > Regards Roger
