<< I need to shoehorn another piano in here to try all these different ones out on. >> I know the feeling. What you can do is use the Young on customer's spinets and consoles that are used for music in the home. Rarely do they use more than three or four sharps or flats. It increases the sum total amount of dissonance coming out of the piano and the vast majority of basic or intermediate players really like it. Or, do some experimenting for free where possibly a faculty member or two can hear it. Low key exposure is the surest way to effect a groundswell effect. It is worth the risk of the rare free retune to get a familiarity with the tunings. If you have someone that is really a Bach specialist, introduce them on the Young as a starting point, and then maybe suggest a really more authentic set of colors might be worth considering.
