I have no helpful specifics, but... You know the basic 
principals, and can evaluate the specifics from what you see 
in the piano, so you're already beyond what anyone could tell 
you from a less technically detailed personal impression. The 
principals apply everywhere, so trust what you know and press 
on. It'll be better than it was.
