My preference is Yamaha. I would consider a U1 Yamaha. The Boston is a Kawai. Improved with what features????... other than German strings and features that are similar to Kawai. Do not be afraid of Escaine... many manufacturers use this with great, long lasting results. (including Yamaha) Ed << List, I'm considering the purchase of a studio vertical to take some wear off of the grand. Is the Boston vertical a Kawai with closer tolerances or does it have Steinway design features? I am impressed with the Samicks (sp?) that I have seen; they seem to be a good value but I'm concerned about possible non-leather knuckles and manufacturing tolerances. And finally, the Young Chang vertical seems to play like a truck. Any comments or suggestions? Chuck Bell Associate member >>
