I really don't understand that. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>One would think of the possibility of some small spring-back effect (but with 18 laminations?), but the curve error is always toward a tighter curve. How can that be? </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>I don't think it is a significant issue as you can easily correct the bend with your pinky - but still, how does this happen?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>A couple pics for your viewing pleasure:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:005f01c7efe4$6d5298a0$0201a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:006001c7efe4$6d5298a0$0201a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="cid:006101c7efe4$6d5298a0$0201a8c0@DESKTOP" align=baseline border=0></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma>Terry Farrell<BR>Farrell Piano</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><A href="http://www.farrellpiano.com">www.farrellpiano.com</A><BR><A href="mailto:terry@farrellpiano.com">terry@farrellpiano.com</A></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
