size</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm serving as a consultant to a local junior
college that is building a new facility and purchasing instruments for
it. The recital hall will seat 350. Even at this small size (well,
small compared to other places I've worked), I would think it would be
preferable to be looking at 9' pianos, compared to something in the 7'
range. I could be mistaken, though. (I'm a great consultant, hey?)
I've been told the acoustics will be good (that's what they all say...).
What do you think?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
