Don’t most pianos regulate around 3/8 dip and 1 7/8 blow? =

you have
to alter what you can (which is not your problem if it is under =
warranty) or
send it back. How old is this piano? It is a grand piano? =
From
the way the web site looks and the prices quoted there, you might be =
better off
finding out who sold this piano and getting their money back and seeing =
how far
that would go with a Charles Walter grand……or Mason and
Hamlin. There are some great pianos being made in =
