This is the biggest bunch of BS I've ever seen - -Jansen always made a  terrible piano, filled with inharmonicity. And the Story and Clark "Storytone" soundboard that's supposedly guaranteed for 50 years? And what exactly is the meaning of "Baldwin 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 official piano of the Metropolitan Opera." They were idiots for not choosing Steinway!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jesse Gitnik</DIV> <DIV>NYC</DIV> <DIV>Since 1980</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR> <DIV><FONT style="FONT: 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF; COLOR: black"> <HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px"> AOL now offers free email to everyone.
