<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">I'm asking on behalf of a customer that will be shopping for an upright to
<BR>be used in a newer middle school. Their budget is roughly $10,000. The
<BR>music teacher has been told that a 52" upright has the same soundboard area
<BR>as a 6' grand. Therefore, she's been thinking about the Boston, Yamaha U3,
<BR>and Kawai. It won't get a ton of use, but will be their only 'performance'
<BR>piano, so musicality, and durability are primary concerns.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BR>Kawai products above all others, then Walter, then Yamaha, then Baldwin.
