[CAUT] Grand piano size

[Greg Newell]

Blaine,

                I agree with Ron O. wholeheartedly here. If you’d like I’d
be happy to work out quotes for the University for new Walter grands. I am
now a dealer and would love to work with you to get you a stellar product
for a very reasonable cost. Let me know!

. . . Looking for additional feedback to shore up my argument in the face of
cuts.  Blaine

 

An argument which comes to mind Blaine would be giving consideration to
other piano makers which may indeed be capable of supplying a superior
instrument for less outlay. The outrageous concept ,adopted by certain
institutions, of purchasing only instruments from one manufacturer is akin
to choosing only one composer for study. Why indeed hasn't some wise
institution thought of choosing the best composer only for serious study,
while banning all others? Surely this would avoid an unnecessary waste of
intellectual space.

 

Ron O.

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.  Blaine

Blaine:

 

Are you thinking teaching studios, practice studios, what kind?  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.

List:

I am inquiring what size grand pianos (specifically Steinways) you would
suggest for studios?  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?  Thanks,
Blaine
