I dont have any hard facts, scientific data etc to back that up but I have definantly heard smaller grands out boom bigger ones. In fact I have sort have gotten the feeling that the C3's of today out boom the C6's of today, and thats of the same make..and basic series... the Yamaha conservatory series. Course this could be my imagination but those C3's seem to have a lot of sound for such a small grand. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no
