I own a model 600 (6') and it is in daily use. Holds tuning extremely well (I'm lazy and only tune it every couple of years !! - but then, this is Southern CA). I have replaced the hammers, shanks and flanges, and rebushed the keys. Could use strings and dampers, but tuning pins are nice and tight.<BR>

The actions tend to get heavy feeling over time, but will come right back with good service. New knuckles might help.<BR>

Very nice one piece ivory keys - if they are still in place, take care of them!<BR>
