<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Røsler Pianos are Czech, and very much similiar to both Petrofs and Weinbachs. They used to be identical for all practical purposes, but I guess things are changing a bit down there. Treat it like a Petrof, and be done with it. Nice full, round sound.... if a bit plagued with falseness, action that is rather unstable, probably soft action felts still, and a squisshy feel to the tuning pins. As a general rule rather pleasing pianos to sit back and listen to, but less pleasing to service. No big deals tho.... tune it and be done with it RicB     tune4u@earthlink.net wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE><style></style> I'm going Tues. to tune a new Rosler upright just purchased from the local piano store--the guy who tunes flat scale with a guitar tuner or a strobe.

My experience to-date has been almost exclusively with pianos that have been "in the field" for years. Alan BarnardSalem, MO</blockquote> -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
