The Seilers that I played on at the last winter NAMM were
just.... sweet. Long back scale, great sustain, transparent actions,
mellow-but-able-to-crash..... and on and on and on...<br><br>
Then there's always a Baldwin SF-10, with, uh.... different hammers. Web
and Ruth still has some old Baldwin hammers.... or perhaps premium Abels
(well needled). <br><br>
Wouldn't we all just love to have your client. "Money's no
object".... whew!<br><br>

<x-tab> </x-tab>I am in a
position of trying to gather information for a church who has a sky high
budget to find a piano their music director likes. I believe they are
interested in a 7 footer. He, the director, has tried and likes the
Grotrian and the Pleyel. He has tried more than a few S&S B's and was
"under whelmed (his words)" by them. He disliked the
"accelerated action" specifically. He has seen the Petrof and
was somewhat interested but not for the main instrument so he may be
looking at a 7' and possibly a 6' instrument as well. He rather dislikes
the bright, harsh sound and favors a full bodied tone quality. A man
after my own heart! In the case of a rather large budget with these
tastes in mind, where would you steer this individual? I even suggested a
hand built piano like one from Ron Overs or Stephen P. (I forget his last
name) but it seems that he is trying to have something in place by
January as the donators of the money are getting antsy. Suggestions
PLEASE! <br><br>
