<BR>List,
<BR> I must agree with Keith, I have serviced many of these pianos,and sold a few also,and have had no problems tuning them.You can brush the hammers,which has the same effect as sugar coating,which has been mentioned lately,and really get a good clean tuning.They really seem to hold up well in adverse conditions,as in schools,churches,where temperature,humidity, is not maintained.
<BR>Best,
