And once tuned, they didn't have a very nice sound. I also found that good regulation was difficult to achieve because of not so good action geometry, less then adequate action parts etc.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Just wait until you work on a few of them and you'll see. They might be OK for someone that doesn't play a lot, but I think that if used for performance they just don't cut it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Marcel Carey</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Matthew Todd Sent: October 16, 2004 12:03 AM To: Pianotech Subject: RE: Pearl River and Kohler & Campbell </DIV> <DIV>And why is that?
