What would help the most is to have at least one of the more important 
teachers telling them frequently that they will meet all kinds of pianos in 
their careers, and they must learn to play well on almost anything.

Luckily, my college has such a person. Psychology is really good. Of 
course, it's better if the pianos are pretty good as well.
