Ileen,

I service a 1991 UST-8 in the music room of a local elementary school.
It's worked out well although the case is not built as durably as the
UST-7, IMO.  I couldn't keep it in tune until I installed a complete
Dampp-Chaser system, and now it's been doing fine, but I wouldn't
necessarily hold that against the piano.  This school likes to tune all
their pianos in September, when the humidity is at its highest level in
this area.

I think the final answer has to do with "what kind" of school
situation.  In areas where it will receive reasonable care, I wouldn't
be afraid of it.  In high school practice rooms, or if it's going to be
moved frequently, I would think twice.  Others may have better advice.

Regards,
Clyde Hollinger
