garbage printed inside pianos -- what about the "Jansen Creed?" This is the
biggest bunch of BS I've ever seen - -Jansen always made a
terrible piano, filled with inharmonicity. And the Story and
<st1:place w:st="on">Clark</st1:place> "Storytone" soundboard that's
supposedly guaranteed for 50 years? And what exactly is the meaning of
"<st1:place w:st="on">Baldwin</st1:place> direct-blow action?" And
"Synchrotone" bass strings? Also, "this quality instrument is built in the
tradition of Baldwin Grand Pianos." I always wondered about Knabe, "the
