<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The piano just needs to be have a going through,
including checking for friction in the various parts, etc and regulating
it. Yes, the sostenuto needs adjustment if it is only working on some
of the keys. Start at the very beginning following the course you
have or the PACE lessons and go right through. You will learn a
lot.</FONT></DIV>

Gulbralsen grand piano not too long ago. (I guess free is a good
price). There are some issues I have noticed with it, but before I go in
and troubleshoot, I thought I'd see what you all had to say. I did
install a complete Dampp-Chaser on the piano already.</SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The "E" key next to
middle C has been sticking, staying down when used along with the damper
pedal, and usually releasing when the "D" next to it is played. However
this doesn't happen every day. It stuck for a couple weeks at the end of
Feb. an! d the last couple days it has stopped.</SPAN></DIV>

sometimes "bouncing" in the middle range of the keyboard, causing that little
double striking sound.</SPAN></DIV>
