  "If new manufactured pianos want to keep up with the private rebuilder =
they should offer a special line of Well voiced pianos. There is market =
for it and it's quite large Mark."

  I agree. For that market, Yamaha makes the S6 & S4 grands.  It's a =
warmer sounding piano.  For every "S" piano we sell, we sell about a =
gazillion of the more aggressive (?) sounding "G" and "C" types.   As I =
write this I hear a great, booming voice proclaiming "The Market Has =
Spoken"!   But hey! That's only ONE of the voices I periodically hear, =
some of them are frequently mistaken, and maybe this one is too.

Actually, I think I said, "the market is speaking," not that it "has =
spoken," as in "this conversation is over." If I'm not mistaken the S6 =
and S4 grands are some more expensive than the G and C types.=20

And, unless I'm mistaken again, that gazillion is a smaller gazillion =
than it was, say, ten years ago.=20

No, I think the conversation is still going on. It will be over when the =
world's last major piano manufacturer closes its doors. Thirty years ago =
this would have been unthinkable; it is no longer unthinkable.
