Grand carcase+

[Mark Story]

Same situation here.  Steinway S for a Clavinova, huh?  If I didn't dislike
tuning church pianos so much I would say that this may not be something
would should promote.  On the other hand, at our convention center here, the
sound engineer/stage manager wants to gut his small Kimball grand in the
same fashion... I haven't discouraged him.
