New Remington, Shoddy key bushings

[Joe And Penny Goss]

In my HO much more than what this piano offers. The glue impregnated felt is most likely the sause of the way loose bushings.

    I came across an issue in the field that I was hoping
  to get your collective opinion on.


  Brand new piano, a Remington... (Essentially a Samick
  with a marketing connection to Pramberger?) Anyway
  decent tone and tuning characteristics, but a very 
  disappointing keyboard. The keys themselves look well
  made, but the bushings are shoddy- 6 of them are so
  saturated with glue they *click* like they have no
  bushings, and the rest are much looser that I would 
  expect of a new piano. Some whites have more that a
  16th inch of slop and a few of the blacks move up
  to an 8th on an inch. (This is front bushing)

  So my question is: Is turning the oval front rail pin EVER 
  considered a valid adjustment on a brand new keyboard?

  Ethically and legally, what should my client expect
  from Samick?


  Just looking for a objective perspective.


  Thanks,


    Kurt
