What does the term 'action' mean? Sorry, although i've been playing the piano, I am still at Piano 101 where technical ...

Perzina Pianos

I am about to place a deposit to buy a new Perzina 118. I would be very appreciative if anyone out there who has owned or played one made in China, Yantai, give any feedback on Perzinas? Thank you in advance, :?

Season's greetings and thank you, PianoGuy, for your quick and pointed response to my first posting on the forum. Indeed, the Grover and Grover piano was exported to the Singapore dealer where I found it for sale. The piano dealer insists that it is only 13 years old as it was sold from the same sho...
