Bill,
You had posted

We have had
Steinways and found the U1 to be a better instrument. I have also had
experiences with Bostons at another university that I had worked at and was
totally unimpressed with them. We do have Boston
grands at ONU and nobody likes them.


I'm wondering what, if anything, was done to the pianos which "nobody likes."
IMHO Most of the pianos are delivered to the schools from the dealers with minimal prep. as possible. They just uncrate them, put a tuning (?) or maybe two and ship them out to the schools letting us techs do any finish work.  Sure this improves their profit margins but it is a business practice that has been around in all industries.

I have found, at my school, the teachers like the Bostons as well as he S&S 45's  aka 1098's

I wonder what I'm doing that others may not. ??
