[CAUT] comparisons

[Leslie Bartlett]

Hope recommendations will be made on-list as I deal with a lot of P22's,
P202's, and T 121, and would like to hear other people share experience with
them. T 121 doesn't seem to have been around a whole lot, but what little
I've heard, techs who play well aren't overwhelmed with them.

Greetings all, 
    I have been asked to make some recommendations for school practise room
pianos.  Here at Vanderbilt, we have been using quite a few Yamaha U-3
pianos, with good results.  They were purchased some years ago when they had
the true sostenuto pedals on them.  Now, the only Yamaha uprights with the
sos. are too 
expensively priced for us to purchse, so I am considering the others.     
    Our dealer here has suggested the P-22 as the workhorse piano for
practise rooms, though I certainly would prefer a larger piano.  I  am
unfamiliar with the T-121 pianos( $ 6,495), but it was offered as an
alternative to the U-1, ( $7,495).  
      The Kawai dealer has proposed the K-25 or the K-3 pianos.  I know
nothing about them, though I have some idea that the K-60 would be a better
piano.  
It certainly weighs more, which means something.  

     I figure that other CAUT's might have seen some  of these models in
action for some time and could give me an idea of how durable they might be.


On list or off, would anybody care to make some recommendations among these
models, based on how they hold up?  

Thanks,
