However, any number of grands that I service are waaaayyyy better than the Acro. It is what it is, and it's good for what it is, but what it ain't, it ain't no grand. Even the little 5' Wurlies are better than the Acros I see. Not to mention the nice Steinways, Bostons, Yamahas, Kawais, etc. I just don't have any people wanting to trade them for an Acrosonic. Boy, I wish that <i>would</i> happen, though. <g><br> <br> Now, if you are speaking of the old neglected grands, then maybe I'd agree. I have a number of those as well, and some of them an Acrosonic would trounce.<br> <br> JF<br> <br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:PIANOTECHNICIAN@aol.com">PIANOTECHNICIAN@aol.com</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="midbde.ff91b41.3301277b@aol.com" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; "> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name="GENERATOR"> <font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"> <div>Of course many grands and some uprights are better than my friend's Acrosonic. We have fantastic pianos up here in NY- one of the music capitals of the world. But the truth is, considering all the old bombs I've tuned and repaired in my career, I can truthfully say that Acrosonic is a better piano than most grands I've ever worked on. By the way, when people ask me about the qualifications of a good tuner/technician, I tell them we have to have the 3 M's. We have to be musical, mechanical, and mentally ill.</div> <div> </div> <div>Jesse Gitnik</div> <div>NYC</div> <div>Since 1980</div> </font></blockquote> </body> </html>
