Re: Higher resistance improves overtime?

Karl,

I had wondered if some sample to sample variations were in bore dimensions / tolerances and such- where some examples might be genuinely inferior to others in ways that could not be readily remedied if at all. If that were true, how would one know by inspection that playing faults were fixable? The only sensible approach would be to demand a top playable instrument at the outset.

The car manufacturers always claimed there are no true lemons, anything wrong with a car could always be fixed. Car owners know better.

And I suppose top pianists still go to the Steinway factory to choose which particular piano to buy, even though 90% of flaws in the sound or action of a good piano can by remedied by careful voicing and other adjustments by the tuner/technician.
