<DIV>That's funny Lance. I recently tuned a Yamaha G-2 grand that was in =
excellent condition (close to new). The woman had just bought it for =
$2000 (It
was easily worth $5000 to $6000) because the action was really screwed =
up. The
former owner's tech reportedly told the former owner that the keybed =
must have
warped because the action would not come out, and was lifted up in the =
bass
end.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You guessed it! The back leg bolts were switched with the bass side =
front
leg bolts (the mover was careful to put the bolts into the same holes!). =
Switch
bolts and POOF! Great little piano working just fine.</DIV>
