No, You'r not the only one. But I have found that after they have had time to cure (about a year or year and a half) they do much better.

  Hello list:
  I do the service work for the local Pearl River dealer here in town.  For their size and price, they get a surprisingly decent sound.   There is a troublesome problem in tuning these brand new pianos: the plain wire strings "hang" in the agraffes.  The "ping" is not in every string but enough to make the tuning difficult.  You know what I mean.  I've dropped the tension before tightening and this helps some but the problem still exists.  I haven't contacted Pearl about this yet.

  Now, am I the only one that is having this problem?
