some experience with new pleyel grands three years ago. The dealer I =

then sold a few. I too think they are about the same in their tonal =

the Schimmel piano, maybee a little softer but at that time they =
wernīt so well
regulated. I recall one emergency service I had to do on one of them, it =
was
rented for a jazz concert and the tricord dampers were fitted so wrong =
to the
unison I had to cut the felt up in the middle of the damper and also cut =
the
part going out under the string. The felt was leaning on the middle =
string, so
the left and right string was ringing. I guess they should have used =
wider
felt.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
