I want to know when we're going to see carbon graphite soundboards:
Light, stiff, predictable, who knows, maybe they even have some acoustic
properties.

Interesting. Is it that the parts that were ABS, are now
carbon-graphite? Or have the ABS parts remained and now other parts are
carbon-graphite? And what might have the carbon graphite parts replaced?
 
Maybe I just need to go to a dealer and have them pull an action for
me.....
 
Thanks for the tip. I generally like Kawais. You, or someone else,
mentioned the EX (I think) series of pianos. I have not heard of that. I
am somewhat familiar with the RX series and service a few of them. Is
the EX the latest and greatest? How might it compare with the Yamaha C
series (I am quite familiar with the Yamys - I make about 500 service
calls to Yamaha C3s a year).
 
Thanks.

their "next step" and what is different about their "new action" and
when did that change occur? 


Terry, 

It's the carbon-graphite parts, found in all the better grands, soon to
be found in ALL the grands, from what I gather.  Don't know about the
verticals.
