Wow, now you're really dreaming. I never imagined that the piano manufacturers would be too responsive to the idea of a standard spec for their C & A pianos, or as an option on their retail pianos (or perhaps as the normal setup with the option being for something else). Imagine their response when you tell them you want five standard specs. Not that I think it's a bad idea. But in the real world of concert pianos and pianists how many pianists ever get to choose between five pianos? Maybe in New York. Most other places they're lucky if they get one. So which of the five specs would you use for this one piano? I think we're back to the idea of a standard middle of the road spec that most artists can live with.
