sharp tuning

[J Patrick Draine]

So what kind of piano was this? My bet is on grey market import rebuilt (or
at least restrung) in Tennessee (or some similarly humid environment).A
client of mine bought one of these from a New England dealer. The client's
first tuner refused to work on it when he found it so sharp. I was not as
headstrong about it, and brought it down to A440. Purchased in midsummer, it
seemed otherwise OK. As winter rolled in the soundboard opened up many
cracks and cracks erupted along the bridge pins.
He got most (70%) of his money back from that dealer, and bought a new C6 at
a Yamaha dealership.
Hope you're not plagued with a similar scenario,
Patrick Draine
