No, no...I simply never met a Kawai that didn't reek of quality in every way=
. Now I have.<BR>

It's like tuning 20 Starcks and then coming across one that really wasn't a =
bad piano. (Yes, this happened. Some of the old ones aren't ba=
d.) You just have to stand back and take a look at the little critter=
in front of you for a minute.<BR>

I'm glad to hear that this model was discontinued. My reference to Le=
ster in the subject line was indicative of my fear that this was what Kawai =
was up to lately. (I don't tune that many new Kawais, I guess, and th=
is one wasn't very old.)<BR>
