What leads you to conclude it was because of the chipboard (more than likely MDF) cabinet core? Personally, I'm quite sure any "thubby" sounds were a direct result of the plastic keytops - anyone knows plastic will never sound like ivory.</div><div><br></div><div>Terry Farrell</div><br><div><div>On Aug 10, 2012, at 9:20 AM, Euphonious Thumpe wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="position: static; z-index: auto; "><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><div>And please allow me to add, briefly, that I had a HORRIBLE experience with flagpoling pins in a Georgia-built Yamaha P-22 upright once that was so bad it made tuning nearly impossible.
