<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Matthew,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<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>

a 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>

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>
