<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'll have to try that. I typically lean =
into the
trebble in order to hear it well. The grand is in bad shape. =
It's
sitting at a thrift store. I've been using it as a practice tuning
piano. It sounds pretty good all considering. It has several =
notes that
don't play. one where the key feels like it won't budge or depress. =
Another
where you can play it, and then it won't sound again. the hammers stay =
up. It needs some new strings I'm sure proabalby all new =
strings, tuning
pins tightened plus a good refinishing job. They want 550$ for =
it.
I'd give them 300$ for it if I had the room. It would be a good =
project
learning piano. The one I Have now is an old Stark that I took =
the
action out of, but it needs too much work to be a useful tool for
learning. I'd have to put too much money into it I think. =
This
piano I have, the frame and pin block are seperated fom each other =
with a huge
crack that extends across the whole width of the piano on top. =
It was an
old player that somone put different piaces of wood on and this ugly =
spekley
laquer. I kep the keys and action. I need to get the rest out of =
here so
my wife can have more room in the living room for our son's toys

face=Arial>Marshall, are you sitting/standing in front of the

your
lever will tend to hit the rim. I sit on the side of the piano, =
typically with the right front piano leg between my knees - then =
your lever
extends out over the capo bar - plus you can see where you are =
