Check out Sauter's Omega semi-concert grand. It has the stop registers laid out under the strings on the soundboard to assist people playing new music. The piano is a tier-one piano that rapidly wins over proponents and die-hards. (My wife was a Steinway only pianist.) It was selected over a S&S D in back to back comparisons at one educational institution (not because of better pricing either). Yes, I am a Sauter dealer. My wife pushed me there after playing one at a PTG convention. I was looking at carrying another brand when she said that this was The One.
