upright piano recommendation, please

[Ron Koval]

Dear lists-

I'm asking on behalf of a customer that will be shopping for an upright to 
be used in a newer middle school.  Their budget is roughly $10,000.  The 
music teacher has been told that a 52" upright has the same soundboard area 
as a 6' grand.  Therefore, she's been thinking about the Boston, Yamaha U3, 
and Kawai.  It won't get a ton of use, but will be their only 'performance' 
piano, so musicality, and durability are primary concerns.  Feel free to 
suggest a shorter instrument, if you have a favorite.  Offlist, if you would 
prefer.

Thanks in advance
