You should have plenty of opportunity for such comparisons by the faculty, students and alumni of the Eastman School of Music. It would be a great "boost" to invite them over for a "test drive", as long as it can be done without looking tackily commercial, or obnoxiously confrontational. I recommend that someone(s) devise a tasteful poster that can be put up in the Piano Department, apprising these souls that some unusal instruments are arrayed for their perusal and critique.... Just make sure that everyone washes their hands, IMMEDIATELY prior to touching them !
