I'd have to agree with Dave here.  That Shigeru Kawai in Dallas was the =
best SnS D I'd heard in a long time!!

  I think you have to include the Shigru Kawai in the top group.  We =
don't have one :-( but I still fanticize about the one I played at the =
Dallas PTG convention.  It was way ahead of anything else I played =
there.

  Yamaha or Steinway absolutely, don't try and reinvent the concert =
wheel.

    I don't have any direct experience with a Bosey, but from what I =
heard, these are nice instruments, but do not perform well in a big =
setting. If this is one of those big sanctuaries where the piano will be =
a big part of the musical offerings, (orchestra, big choir, =
congregational singing, etc.), this might not be the instrument of =

    Since it looks like they will have close to $70,000, I would suggest =
they try to get another $20, and go for either a Yamaha or Steinway. =
They have a proven track record, and do hold up well in big auditorium.  =


    Just my two cents worth.
