<HTML>Clyde, The budget would be a determining factor.  A Steinway B would be ni= ce.  I personally prefer a BB Mason and Hamlin, which I didn't see on t= he list. I feel that the Kawai RX-6 is possibly the best value on the list. &nbsp= ;They have a very sweet, rich sound, the actions are quite servicable and th= ey tune as easily as any piano I've ever encountered.  The Ancott price= is suggested retail, but I'm sure and RX6 or a C7 could be had for quite a = bit less in most metropolitan areas. Enjoy your search and the results thereof!

In just paging through a fairly recent Ancott directory, these pianos along with approximate cost (in order of cost) look to me like reasonable possibilities, although I question a couple at the bottom. Do you want to comment on any of them?
