installed correctly: they started at the left and end up with one string left
without, unisons don’t fit on the same duplex, anyway this is already a
main reason to complain. Some comments on this duplexproblem related to
tuningstability are welcom.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

for Japanese market, in renovation at SAP Poland extrmely dried out, restrung
with to much downbearing and finally collapsed negativ, any other thoughts
about why a soundboards becomes negativ crowned? Custommer payed 15.000 EUR for
this instrument,<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
