    Bob Groat diagnosed that he would have to level the fretboard, which as a luthier he is qualified to do.

    December 30, 2021: I have literally been researching, auditioning and shopping for a digital piano…read moresince September 2020. Most musical instrument retailers have floor samples of the big three: Roland, Yamaha, Casio. All of those I tried didn't satisfy for various and personally important reasons. Mostly like the keyboard didn't feel like an acoustic piano or the simulated piano sounds were too fake electronic. Was motivated to visit as Stanroy is a Kawai digital piano authorized seller which no other local sellers carry. I've been an occasional Stanroy customer since 1973. In the dark distant past I have purchased guitars, amplifiers, percussion instruments, even a few real German made pear wood recorders. But it's been decades since my last purchase. Was always satisfied with the shopping and purchasing process. Today, played the Kawai KDP-120 digital piano. Keyboard action feels like a "real" piano. The sound models are remarkably pleasing. Close your eyes and you'd be hard pressed to hear that it's digital. The construction is solid. Industry reputation for reliability is excellent. MSRP for the piano is $1599. Stanroy price = $1199. Sold! Nice folks. Stanroy is a real musical instrument store in that they sell and service orchestral instruments. Only place in Sonoma County you can buy a trombone, trumpet, piccolo or French horn. All the other shops (which I also love) are basically electric guitar stores with amps, a few synthesizer keyboards , DJ tables, PA systems, one drum set, and the panoply of electronic gizmos for rock n' rollers. Stanroy, it's been too long since my previous visit until today. I promise not to stay away too long again. Highest recommendation.

I contacted Chris from Customer Service at LMII only to be informed that I have to eat the replacement cost and LMII's best suggestion was to un-install the tuners & polish all 6 of them yourself. I inquired to get a direct contact with the manufacturer only to be told that it is difficult to get to them. I did polish these tuners but the finish never really came close to the original look. I love 510 tuners but to be put through a situation like this is NOT / should never be acceptable by standards of $$$ cost to purchase these set. NO STARS rating from a very un-HAPPY customer. UPDATE (6.16.2017) : I glad that some attention was given to people like me whose gone thru some bureaucratic situations. Natalie, just FYI, the guitar where these defective 510 tuners were installed is a pristine L-10 Larrivee with a nice Madagascar back & sides. This is my "go to" guitar and is still a playable guitar. On the contrary, I didn't fail to tell the truth here. I will update this further with newer pictures of my L-10 to show that NO NEGLIGENCE of any level was done for this acoustic guitar...just to prove my point. Thanks for your one-sided opinion Nel
