First five notes were blocking, and several others along the  way did so as well. Regulation was terrible throughout, and of course it was in HORRIBLE tune.  I called the local dealer who had YC and got no recall.  I don't know if I have some "responsibility" to deal with this thing for which I have absolutely no experience.  But I hate to see even bad pianos be worse than they need be……</FONT></DIV> <P><FONT face=Arial size=2>thanks</FONT> <BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>les bartlett</FONT> </P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
