"Got an lyrique some 15 years ago and that was a real dissappointment with bad adjustment and way too soft keys. Have they gotten better?"

Check out the Lyrique AureA. That's what I got.

Tom talks about the new Lyrique Libertas II and the AureA in this video here:

I *believe* that the mechanism is very sturdy and strong, but I haven't played in 20 years and I've only had this one for a couple of months. My only complaint so far is that the gold post plating seems to wear or fade as I use a polishing cloth on the keys. Otherwise, it's as solid as anything to me.

Getting back into playing after 20 years.
