<DIV>Hello, my name is Fernando Rosas, from Santiago de Chile. I just =
<BR>bought
a brand new Yamaha grand piano model C1. It's really <BR>beautiful, and =
it
sounds great, for my taste. I have only one but <BR>important problem : =
the
keyboard action is quiet heavy. I asked some <BR>technicians here in =
Chile and
they answered me that it is not strange <BR>in a Yamaha piano. In =
addition, that
it's new and that I must wait a <BR>little for the mechanism to
settle.<BR><BR>Have someone experienced this piano who could tell me =
what to
think ?</DIV>
<DIV>Please send answers to <A
href="mailto:frosas@deloitte.cl">frosas@deloitte.cl</A><BR><BR>Thanks =
in
advance,<BR><BR>Fernando<BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
