<html> <body> Tom, At a recent (teacher's) convention, there were several a number of grands from two well-known manufacturers and David there with a D outfitted with a 7/8th keyboard.  From a standpoint of materials and workmanship, it was outstanding.  From a standpoint of being the most "controllable"/etc/etc/etc action of the 5 9' and 6 ~7' pianos there, there was no question - hands-down, it was the best. Best.

Are there any outfits in the USA doing these modifications? The issue for him is his limited hand size and his needs to be able to play 10ths. Any information will be greatly be appreciated.
