Røsler pianos have been for years basically identical to Petrof
and Weinbach. Same folks, same plate, same manufacturing processes, same
place.
<p>If this is an upright I'd rip up the felt covering the pinblock and
have a look at the pin block lamination, and how it looks fitted to the
plate. Check the tunning pin tightness as well, and check for falsness...
in fact give it a tuning to get a general feel for it. Look for action
problems... hammers that dont hit square when you play a little hard..
grin...try changing a centerpin or two.. they use this really soft felt
literally everywhere in the action and keybed.
<p>I personally am always carefull around Czech pianos. Regardless of their
reputation for a nice round sound.
