It's a well made piano and underpriced. All the custo mers I have that own one, love it. I have no problem with any of the grand pianos. The uprights are another story. Well made, but impossible to tune. To me, it's worse than the Steinway K to tune <br> <br> Al Guecia <br> </div>  </div> <div id='u8CAEB08F2085673-1188-CFD' class='aol_ad_footer'><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Find phone numbers fast with the <A title="http://yellowpages.aol.com/?NCID=emlweusyelp00000001" href="http://yellowpages.aol.com/?NCID=emlweusyelp00000001" target="_blank">New AOL Yellow Pages</A>!</FONT> </div>
