[CAUT] uprights

[Paul T Williams]

I've only come across 1 K that I sort of liked.  An older one with the 
double flange system that I and another very experienced tech rebuilt.  It 
was at best, "OK" when we finished, but on the whole.  you could do better 
with something else.

I only do one (4 year old) K52 for a teacher and it is substandard to my 
ear.  One day right after I tuned it I returned to the school and tuned a 
243HP that was far nicer.  The tenor is really weak, and the killer octave 
really killer.  For that kind of money they should be wonderful 
instruments and they just aren’t.

List,
 
My school is interested in a large purchase of pianos...10 or more.   They 
are talking with Steinway.   The Boston would be included in the upright 
part of the purchase or the K52.   Opinions on the bigger Boston uprights 
and the K52.   Obviously, you can probably get 2 Bostons for the K52, but 
is the K52 a decent piano these days?
