Ones I've played on before seemed to be well serviced, but something was missing.. I played organ and Bryn Athyn Cathedral before and as I was told once by John Binsfeld, that organ is a fine instrument, but it simply has no soul. So far with Samick my oppinion is same, perhaps they are well made, and maybe are crap outa the box, but even with excelent prep work still missing the "soul"...     Alicia <blockquote> <hr> From: deanmay@pianorebuilders.com To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: RE: Samick is crap?

The basics are there for a nice instrument. It’s up to you to coax it out!
