    Thanks to all who responded to my question about good pianos for schools. I will mention to them the Sauter and Kawai UST-9 pianos that were recommended. I will also try to talk them into Dampp-Chaser systems, at least for the new pianos that don't get moved around everyday. I know most of these will not be taken care of but there are a few teachers that would maintain them. When I started taking care of the pianos at a small college again there were 14 pianos that had older Dampp-Chaser systems in them. Of those 14 only 2 were plugged in and both of those were never filled with water. Even in the piano faculty studio with 2 Steinway "B" pianos the water light was always blinking. Any suggestions on how to get people to maintain these would help too.

  Thanks, Steve Sandstrom
