Friends,

A local church just informed me they want to replace the Baldwin
Hamilton in their sanctuary with "at least a 7' grand" and asked for any
helpful advice I might have.  I haven't often received requests like
this.  Anyone want to make any helpful suggestions or recommendations
for me to pass along?

In just paging through a fairly recent Ancott directory, these pianos
along with approximate cost (in order of cost) look to me like
reasonable possibilities, although I question a couple at the bottom.
Do you want to comment on any of them?
