   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.
