List --

In these discussions, I behold only the names Schimmel, Steinway, and
Baldwin. Why no mention of Bosendorfer, German Steinway, Kawai EX,
Grotrian, Mason & Hamlin, Fazioli, etc.? 

Not that I've had nearly the exposure to them that I'd like to have had,
but from what I _have_ heard, they should be on the list.
