The budget called for new D's and B's, then the budget was cut. Big surprise! So we had to go with a bunch of Yamahas and no B's and were able to get 2 D's through another totally fortuitous source. Since Ohio is in the Stone Age vis-a-vis funding for higher ed., it's a joke trying to get funds for a B.  >From my perspective, I'd get new stuff a lighter your load and trade in what you can to fill holes. Hope this helps- be glad you have a chair that can contemplate new pianos!    </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Steve Kabat  s.kabat@csuohio.edu</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
