I bought a brand new Oak Traditional console with PianoDisc system installed 
in February, 1996.  It has been a joy to me ever since.  I've never had to do 
anything but tune it so far, not even a hint of lost motion yet.  It has a 
rich, vibrant tone.  I frequently have professional pianists over as guests 
who can't get over the fact that a 42 inch console could actually be a 
musical instrument.

The Walter piano has improved over the years.  The latest models with the 
Langer action and new scale design are superb.  The Walter family clan are 
the best people on earth to deal with.  Still, their production is limited, 
the pianos are not available everywhere.  

The Walter Grand is also superb.  I've been instrumental in selling a few to 
customers who are really happy.  It was the piano I chose for the Temperament 
Festival at the PTG Annual Convention in Providence RI, 1998.  I'd have to 
say that the piano alone was an advantage.

I guess that's the way it ought to be with a really good piano.  You'd have 
to be lucky to even be able to buy one.  This is what Baldwin ought to do, 
make really good pianos, one by one, charge a lot for them and have people 
wondering what it takes to get one rather than slapping together a lot of 
new, cheap junk.
