David: I guess I never thought of them as practice studios, but practice rooms. The teaching studios I am thinking of are voice, string, woodwind, brass studios. Piano studios are set with B's. The reason I ask is that a second series of cost cuts have pared down all teaching studios to S's and M's where they were O's and A's. I think O's outshine M's and S's. Looking for additional feedback to shore up my argument in the face of cuts.

Here at SMU we have Bs in the piano teaching studios, Ds in the artist (pianist) in residence studio, Ms, Ls, & 1 B in piano practice rooms (the B is not a good idea in a room that small, but you use what you have). Voice studios have 3 Bs and a Boston GP163. Most other studios just have what will fit. dave David M.

Space is only a minimal concern. Would you put an S or an M in a studio? Is the model O worth the extra cost? Why or why not? What are the merits and demerits(?) of one versus the others?
