<BR>I like working on them. I think they have excellent tone. I'=
ve serviced many of them, particularly new ones from a dealer that I've work=
ed for. They have few problems. One that I tuned recently(warran=
ty tuning) had loose key weights, but other than that I have no compla=
ints. They have a warm sound and tune easily. The Langer actions=
have a nice feel. The cabinets are attractive and made of real wood!

<BR>While they are not cheap, the prices are not outlandish.
