It seemed that it needed regulation fairly often and yet it held a tuning pretty good, considering that a concert player was pounding the stuffings out of it on a daily basis. The only weird thing is that all the sound board buttons cracked in many pieces and caused big time buzzing. The tone is a little anemic compared to a Steinway, and the action does feel a bit clunky, but for the price of this thing back in '95 it's a lot of piano.  No false beats, only one pair of bass strings mismatched. Others I have talked to say the quality of Estonia back then was dependent on what day of the week it was. YMMV. </FONT></DIV> <DIV>Joseph Alkana RPT</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=richard.ucci@att.net href="mailto:richard.ucci@att.net">richard.ucci@att.net</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Thursday, March 16, 2006 1:15 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> estonia</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>List,</DIV> <DIV>I'll be tuning my first Estonia grand tomorrow, anything I should know about this piano?
