As I was moving from piano to piano comparing methods and 
tonal results, it also occurred to me that grading these 
instruments one against the other was splitting hairs a lot 
finer than we typically do with new pianos or the average 
rewhatevered instrument. Every single one of those pianos was 
first rate.
