Problematic Piano
Wednesday, November 01, 2006The piano arrived at around nine this morning. I'm not the least happy. Within an hour, I discovered 4 problems...
I called the piano company regarding the sticky keys...- Firstly, the piano had sticky keys, and when I pressed the key, it played no sound.
- Secondly, the front board of the piano was loose, such that when I shaked the board, the 200+++ kg piano will also shake.
- Thirdly, the whatever sticker that they pasted weren't taken out nicely, such that it left a sticky layer on my piano.
- Fourthly, it's either the workmanship was lousy or the transportation men were clumsy, because there were a few minor scratches. But I don't care, because I can see them!
Me: My piano seems to have MANY sticky keys.
G: Maybe the piano has to adapt to the new environment. Let the heater heat up the piano for a few days, then it should be okay.
Me: My 2 previous pianos did not have this problem before, even when they were first delivered.
G: Don't worry. I will arrange a time slot for the technician to come and take a look at the piano. If the sticky keys go away, kindly call us to cancel your appointment.
Me: Okay. Surely no problem?
G: Don't worry.
Dad: Can I speak to G?
(waiting...)
The board is loose... ... ... We're not happy with this piano. I want to exchange this piano for another one.
G: ... ... ... I'll send the technician there before deciding whether to exchange or not.
Don't worry.
Her service was good, but can she stop saying "Don't worry." Also, the people who made this piano were not very skilled, I must say. If this carries on, I will not hesitate to change back to my SANDER SP-300 EP.
Professional Collection Acoustic Upright Piano. German style with beautiful appearance and distinctive timbre, full undertone and bright alt.
I missed my SANDNER piano.
