This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I would say just about the opposite is true - the highest performance = models are often the most heavy-duty (talkin' pianos here). Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 From: Cy Shuster=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2004 7:04 PM Subject: Pianos for heavy use? Many products such as power tools have both "home" versions as well as = "commercial" versions, intended for heavy-duty use. In fact, the "home" = versions often have a warranty clause that excludes damage from severe = use. Do piano manufacturers explicitly market "heavy-duty" models? Or does = that just fall out from the low-end vs. high-end models? I know some = studios are advertised as "institutional", with toe blocks on uprights = and so on, but I wondered if anyone explicitly addresses the challenges = of pianos that are played, say, six hours a day. Thinking about the analogy to cars (like Terry often does), the = highest performance models are often the most temperamental and fragile, = requiring a lot of maintenance relative to others. I suppose any = concert piano takes a lot of work, since the pianist requires so much of = the instrument.
