Hi, new here to the forums. I was wondering if anyone can give me more information on the palatino's. i could not find much information doing a google search, except all the dealers that sell them. i just want to make sure that i make a good buy. not an expert on pianos-played all of my childhood but, haven't played in years and looking to start up again.

any and as much info would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Dear shydie , i purchased a white Palatino upright just before christmas, i would say i am semi-pleased with it, altho i find the tone very bright and it has too much resonance compared to my tutors Yamaha U1, i have a tech comin round this week to advise on voicing the hammers to tone it down a bit, all in all they are good pianos, very powerful, good responsive action and amazing bass, better than the yamaha in fact. hope this helps.
