This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I tune eight new (about one year old) Yamaha C3s every other week. I = also service a dozen C3s that are a few years old every other week - = plus a number of additional odd C3s once or so a year. I also run across = an older C3 every now and then - like maybe something from the 1970s. The older Yamahas have a dark wood bridge cap on the high treble - = boxwood I presume. The clarity of the high treble section in ALL the new = Yamahas is terrible. Most every string sounds like a trash can lid being = whacked with a shovel. There is simply no tuning to be done up there. = Some strings are even dead - I can see that the hammer should be hitting = it, but the darn thing sounds like the trunk of an oak tree being hit = with the hammer. Most of the older Yamys with the boxwood caps have = fairly clear trebles for their age. What is the deal with the high treble on these Yamys? Is this what = Yamaha is settling for? Sure seems that way. They sound like crap. = Absolutely nothing anything like a clear singing note - zip - nadda. Anyone else notice this? I don't service all that many new pianos, so = maybe this is par for the course. I know my Boston high treble is pretty = darn clear - at least 48,000 times better than these new Yamahas. What's = the deal? Terry Farrell ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
