been servicing one Suzuki grand about 6' for a year now. I only tuned it =
twice
and it seems OK for the price they paid for it. I find the hammers a =
little hard
pressed for my taste. There is not a lot of sustain, but, since the =
hammers are
hard, it has power. The pins and pinblock have a good feeling and the =
stringing
looks good. Now for the low price they sell them for, they seem OK, BUT
remember, you only get what you pay for.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

better
used if better made.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
