On some grand pianos I have to push down the unichorda?hope I spelled this correctly Joe, lol pedal to hear the right string. Now is this<br> due to hammer spacing ,or string spacing or is the pedal out of adjustment. So theres factors often slow me down.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></blockquote><br></div><div>Marshall</div><br></div></div></body></html>
