<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=Arial>I know, you're right Richard! They sound much
better than they should! <BR><BR>This one unfortunately DID have an
action problem; the damper lift rod wasn't acting evenly from the pedal, and
the treble dampers were just barely lifting off the strings at the top (with
the bass ones acting immediately you touch the pedal). I discussed it
with the customer, who fully understood the time implications of removing the
action from that piano, and we decided to leave well alone for now, as it was
just about acceptable with the pedal fully depressed. <BR><BR>It's so
weird seing that action, with the bass hammers all to the side like
that! When I think about it too, that might be the first rounded frame
one that I've come across. I have friends who have an Eavestaff, but its the
straight frame.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR><BR>David.<BR><A

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite">A coincidence, David, I did the same model last
week! This design with the raised rounded frame seems to
be quite rare, as they are usually straight. What is amazing about
these pianos is that they sound many times better than they really ought
to! You have to be very thankful, though, that you are not faced
with any action
problems!<BR> <BR>Richard</BLOCKQUOTE><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
