Most 46" studio pianos are low enough to see over - although the
teacher may need to sit a little higher than normal, depending on how
tall she is. Kawai UST-8 or UST-7 are made this size just for that
reason - especially for choir directors to be able to see over.<br><br>
Kawai makes a 44" piano with a studio style cabinet (has toe
blocks), but the casters are small and the piano is a bit lightweight for
school use. It's called the 506S. I imagine any small piano will
have the same limitations.<br><br>
I could mention that Yamaha and Charles Walter and some others make
studio pianos that might work out also, but since I work for Kawai, I'd
better not. ;-)<br><br>

A local elementary school music teacher wants to buy a new
classroom<br>
piano. I suggested a studio piano, but now I find that she wants to
sit<br>
facing the students from behind the piano and will need to be able
to<br>
look over the top of it. I think a studio piano will be too tall
for<br>
that.<br><br>
Are there any consoles made for school use? Suggestions on what
to<br>
advise here?<br><br>
