	Is there any possibility of having an evaluation committee try out  
sample pianos and rate them? That is the method I use to keep  
purchasing happy. We actually try out the physical pianos we will  
purchase (or not), so it isn't just a matter of brand X model Y, but I  
don't see why it couldn't be done with samples as well. Each member of  
our committee tries the pianos individually and gives them ratings in  
various categories, and then I average them numerically.
