with Dave. I have always been pleased with the response of the GS to

30, 40, or 70 for instance) is how they respond to remedial treatment.
You might have one that you think is lost cause--hammers deeply grooved,
whiny tone, way out of regulation--you spend several hours on it tuning,
regulating, and voicing, and voila: you have yourself a piano! They
come back well.</span></font></p>
