[CAUT] Grand piano size

[VESELY, BLAINE]

David:
I guess I never thought of them as practice studios, but practice rooms.  The teaching studios I am thinking of are voice, string, woodwind, brass studios.  Piano studios are set with B's.  The reason I ask is that a second series of cost cuts have pared down all teaching studios to S's and M's where they were O's and A's.  I think O's outshine M's and S's.  Looking for additional feedback to shore up my argument in the face of cuts.  Blaine

Blaine:

Are you thinking teaching studios, practice studios, what kind?  Here at SMU we have Bs in the piano teaching studios, Ds in the artist (pianist) in residence studio, Ms, Ls, & 1 B in piano practice rooms (the B is not a good idea in a room that small, but you use what you have).  Voice studios have 3 Bs and a Boston GP163.  Most other studios just have what will fit.

I am inquiring what size grand pianos (specifically Steinways) you would suggest for studios?  Space is only a minimal concern.  Would you put an S or an M in a studio?  Is the model O worth the extra cost?  Why or why not?  What are the merits and demerits(?) of one versus the others?  Thanks, Blaine
