Ron, Taking this thread a slightly different direction, I got my M. M. in Music Education from a local university known for having a very good program. Every year when they call to try to squeeze a few bucks out of me, all I can think of is the very poor condition of the practice room pianos. To this day I can't reconcile those uncared-for pianos with their reputation.
