That helps!

The university of Minnesota at Minneapolis received six of them. Right out of the box, they were all fairly in tune. I don't know about any differences in the actions. The Boston 118S, is at the bottom of the heap. The 118E, is a much better piano and more stable as well. Include the Boston 126, and the 132.

I've never dealt with them. Specifically, would you choose them over a Boston 118S? I don't know models, but I assume it is bottom of the line Essex vs. Boston 118S. We have posted much about the Bostons, which I don't particularly care for, but I can't find anything on the Essex. BTW, I am told that the 118Es are a vast improvement over the 118S, at about 2K more. Anyone know about the 118E?
