[CAUT] uprights

[David Love]

Do you mean at the bass tenor break?  Can't say I've ever analyzed the scale
on any Yamaha uprights to say one way or the other.  But for this project,
all things considered, a U3 would still be a better choice than a K52 or a
Boston, at least for me.

Do the U5's have that huge iH jump from wound to plain that the U3's do?

You can buy 2 (maybe 3) Yamaha U5s for the price of one K52.  Better and
cleaner sounding, easier to tune and service, easier to turn over should you
decide to go that route.  It's a no brainer for me.  I find the 1098's wirey
sounding full of falseness, difficult and unrewarding to tune.  Bostons I
find also hard to tune (too enamored of tight tuning pins), cold and dry
sounding.

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?
