Re: Bentley used upright piano 30 years old (1979) - advice

Thanks for all your precious opinion.

Kemble ....not tuned for 6 years?

I am interested in buying a Kemble Classic piano and it has not tuned for 6 years. The piano is just 14 years old and it looks as new. The owner seldom used it in these few years.

What will be the problems if not tune for 6 years?
