The first one had similar issues and was replaced by the dealer. Apparently, according to the dealer, there were 150 of these pianos that were not seasoned properly and got through quality control. The music people at the school are keeping their fingers crossed that they will be luckier with the third one.<br> <br> Anyone had a similar experience, or would like to comment? You can send your thoughts directly to me if you don't want to go public.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> <br> <FONT color=#888888>Bruce Gibson<br> Piano Technician<br> <br> 1.306.221.3786 (Voice or Text)<br> 1.877.652.3571 (Saskatchewan)<br> <A href="mailto:bruce@bgpianotech.com">bruce@bgpianotech.com</A><br> <A href="http://www.bgpianotech.com/" target=_blank>www.bgpianotech.com</A><br> <br> Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Smartphone</FONT><br> <br> </div> </div> </div> </font>
