Greetings list, I brought this up a couple years ago--cracks (separation) between the inner and outer rims in a Kawai grand. Different piano, out of warranty and I've got customers interested in purchasing it. I had a pleasant talk with Mark Wisner at Kawai. If the piano was in warranty, the repair would be the ol' flip the piano over, fill 'em up with epoxy, sand and touch up the finish on the bottom of the rim. I could find a mover to help me do the job, but I was wondering if anybody out there has ever heard of a problem caused by these separations. Noise? Obviously, I don't know how long the cracks have been there; the piano, a KG-2, is about 15 years old. I am inclined to say, "let's just leave it and if there's ever a problem we'll fix it"--unless someone gives me a good reason not to... :-) Thanks for your help.
