Hi Barbara,

In WSU's Wiedemann Hall (an organ "case" with 3 seconds of reverb, built 
for the Marcussan organ), we have a Steinway-D, a Bosendorfer 225 (7'4"), 
and a Neupert 8x8x4 double-manual harpsichord.  This is the newer of our 
two performance halls (seats 420) and is the preferred venue since it looks 
really nice and has all that reverb to play with (or to hide 
deficiencies....        :)
The Hall is climate controlled at 45% RH and 70 degrees F. so even the 
harpsichord stays in tune for an inordinately long time (yea!!).

The older Miller Concert Hall seats 500, is not climate controlled (at 
all!) and houses two Steinway-Ds, a Mason & Hamlin CC (currently in the 
shop for rebuiding), and a Neupert 8x4 single-manual harpsichord.

Thanks for initiating this thread, Barbara; its very interesting to hear 
what various institutions have available.
