Marginally acceptable sound and tone for the size. 5 foot +  range.<br>Normal quality for the competitive times of the '80's where inexpensive pianos were driving the market and<br>companies were trying to compete with Japan's piano manufacturing.<br>I would try to find a customer for the piano first before committing to purchasing it as it might eat up a lot of<br>storage space while you're trying to sell it. Maybe a hobbyist player or a family looking for a lesson piano where they<br>would eventually trade up.<br>GPC,RPT<br></div></body> </html>
