piano purchase

[Newton Hunt]

You are in a climate different than the ones we are in, for the
most part.

Find and talk to as many piano tuners in your immediate area and
get their opinions about durability, survivability, playability,
tuning and tone over a long period of time.  

Then armed with opinions go out and find the piano you just love
and cannot live without and buy that one and get a really good
technician to keep it sounding and feeling the way you like it.

Remember, _everyone_ has opinions and most of them are wrong so
form your own.

Lots of luck.
