This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List, I have been on one of these trips myself and found that it was very rewarding. I used mostly the visual approach during the time the others we playing. There are always some defects from a small scratch on the case to major ones. Remember that anything is possible but not likely. Think of all the possibilities and make a list before you leave for the trip, then follow your list. If there are any scratches or any other defects, they will repair if you ask before shipping. You can inspect the actions write down touch weights, regulation dimensions, ect. They will pull the action if you want, but will not allow you if you want to have a look. I had the privilege of meeting Henry Steinway while I was there. He signed our piano as well. His office is at the end of the institutional selection room.

I enjoy reading all your comments and insights. I will be travelling to NYC with the Chairman of the Music Dept and another Prof of Music from the local university in my area to choose two Steinway D's and two B's at Steinway Hall. As the tech in the mix, can anyone suggest what I should look for? My playing skills are limited but I think I do know a great piano when I hear one. Both profs are quite talented so I should be spending most of my day listening. Any and all comments would be appreciated. We've already taken delivery of three B's (these were taken on order - no selction involved) and all three are quite different pianos. We've also received three Boston GP-178's and several Boston uprights. The Bostons were considerably more prepped than the S&S's!
