| This piano was purchased for a school with a strong music department. Typically funding is never adequate, so a 'domestic' model was obtained for about a fifth the cost of a new unit. The risk with domestic models is that the soundboard is not sufficiently sealed, and the tuning pins are loose in the pinblock due to the fact that the diametre at which the holes are drilled in the factory is larger, as the Japanese climate is more humid than the Australian climate. A piano with a tight pin-block in Japan feels looser in Australia. |
