So you are telling me that this thing is in a recording studio
where "very discerning players utilize the facility"??

Okay, I'll buy that.  But one question:  If this is the case then
why did the knuckle heads purchase an Estonia?  Hmmmm,
<scratching head in amazement>.

I Do the same dance at UNLV.  I've just finished tuning the
performing arts center 'D' for the third time in the past 24
hours.  Two performances for the Vienna Boys Choir and once for a
big brass jazz thingy.

When talking about an Estonia I was thinking "Ah, a home piano
for someone with no budget".  Oops.  Well somebody buy these guys
a piano, ok!  <;-)
