<div>><font face="Arial" color="#000000">Very bad: Russian pianos
like Becker or Belarus. The most bad modern pianos I know:
>Lindner from Shannon, Ireland.</font></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Rippen comes to mind too. I recently encountered a Becker
grand. It was donated to a school.</div>
<div>I stopped trying to regulate it when I couldn't adjust the height
of the jack lower in the repetition</div>
<div>lever. It has a Schwander-type whippen and the spring was
resting on the whippen body, so</div>
<div>no adjustment, no regulation. I though of replacing the
whippens but the sound of the PSO</div>
<div>is so bad that I told them not to sell it to a student but only
to someone who needs an</div>
<div>ancestral portraiture display.</div>
