That's similar to my experiences with them too. I don't like the sound a 
lot, but that's not my call and there are a lot worse out there. 
Horizontally laminated bridges (as plywood as any pinblock), aren't the 
awful things techs like to assume, and as long as that bridge is holding 
the pin tight at the surface, there is no need to bisect the pin hole 
with the notch for it to sound clean as long as the notch edge isn't in 
the speaking length. These weren't far off from being nice pianos.
