Ahem, I'd have to agree with Keith here, Terry.  There are a lot of them out 
there.  It is a very common choice for a school piano and many other 
situations.  I've been going nightly and will be again in a few minutes to 
rehearsals for Man of La Mancha.  If I had the attitude you do about the 
piano we are using, I wouldn't be able to do either my job as a piano 
technician nor as a singer and actor.

The last thing I would ever call our rehearsal hall piano is a "PSO".  It is 
a Baldwin Hamilton Studio piano.  It has great tone and a beautifully 
designed soundboard.  Does it require actual work froloathfulm time to time 
to keep it being a musical instrument and not an object for loathsome 
disdain?  Yes, but again, that's what I am in business to do.
