Ya sure, I'll play. Since diversity is the name of the game as far as 
student and faculty recruitment, I would suggest diversity by the 
following for the five (±) 9' grands.

-Hamburg Steinway, Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Steingraeber, Overs (special 
order, of course)
...Real differences in tone, action and philosophy!!

±7'- Bluthner, Bechstein, Baldwin, Kawai, Schimmel

Oops, probably ran out of money - my book isn't here.

Tag! You're it!!
