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. </SPAN></FONT></P>

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? </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
