<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I find the same level of ease with the new Kawai pianos
hear. In the Spring and Summer they come out of the box on or just barely
above 440. I like that! Usually a tuning and adjusting the letoff is
all we have to do. The more Kawai products I deal with the more I like
them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>The store I work for in Portland just became Kawai dealers and
we received our first large load of pianos last weekend. Since we will
be moving in three weeks to a new location, we are also having a big
sale. Having gone through Portland's hugest going out of
business sale with another dealership just three years ago, I was worried
about the tuning load.<BR> <BR>But I was just astonished at how good the
Kawai's sound fresh out of the boxes! They were actually in showable
condition. In fact, I asked the movers if they had arrived uncrated,
thinking maybe they had been tuned in LA before being sent up here. But
the movers said they came in crates and today I watched them uncrate
one. It was the sturdiest grand crate I have ever seen!<BR> <BR>The
pianos are gorgeous and it is a joy to tune them!<BR><BR>Diane
