Just substitute the word "dreadful". This is usually the case when I hear an instrument that has great potential which is either
a. playing out of tune, or
b. badly "restored", or, for that matter,
c. limping along,
which is owned by a collector who doesn't care enough to spend the $$$ on proper restoration and regulation.
