List,

 I have a question about how well European manufactured pianos hold up
here in the States. Our University is going to purchase a 7' piano for
the Recital Hall. This piano will be used for approximately 20 recitals
per year. The manufacturer is yet to be determined, although the
Professor in charge of purchasing is leaning towards the Fazioli brand.
We currently have 2 Steinway model "D's" in the hall that will be used
the majority of the time.
 What has been your experience with your European pianos? How well do
they hold up? Please feel free to comment on both the postive and
negative aspects of the instruments and your satisfaction with these
pianos.
