|    Friend's uncle's twisted Steinway Grand    |
|    19 Feb 13 11:51:39    |
      Not much more to describe. The tuner guy my friend's uncle uses says he       lasered the soundboard and it is actually twisted about 1.5" out of square!              Now that soundbard is a massive piece of steel and no one seems to how it       coulda got bent that way.              My question is, is it worth getting repaired? Because the tuner says he may       have to charge my buddy's uncle twice the normal fee to get just a       "satisfactory" sound, let alone a good or excellent sound.              My friend is a very good player and wants to go regional/national someday, and       playing on that Steinway is a real joy for him.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
