[CAUT] sanctuary formula

[Willem Blees]

Has any one every devised a formula to figure out the optimum size of 
piano for a sanctuary? I realize there are a lot of variables with 
this, but what I am looking for is a guide to help churches and 
concert halls determine what size piano they should have. The 
dealer I work for and I discussed this the other day. There are too 
many churches that get too small a piano to fill the santuary, and 
then wonder why the piano breaks down after a couple of years
