David Ilvedson  </blockquote> </blockquote> All three are quality material. No doubt. I think you will find that the Seiler has a tone that sets it apart from many other pianos tho, and I dont mean anything negative by that at all... quite the opposite really. But you will either like that unique quality, or not. Most notably a sort of stretchingout... nearly to the point of thinning out, but not quite so... the middle registers... slightly reminiscent of instruments in the past. Seilers hold up really well, and seem to be quite stable. Good quality actions installed very well. No problem reccommending these to anyone. Cheers RicB   -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
