Stellenbosch University has Bosendorfers in the conservatory. They are great! I also almost had the opportunity to buy a Pleyel for cheap, but I think a dealer bought it straight away after it was posted. If I had that kind of money I would go for a Fazioli these days. The story behind it and the niche of an Italian piano is just too enticing. I would go there and see the whole thing though. And of course if they don't play well with my style then... Well, then one always has the classic brands to consider. The other awesome piano is the Bosendorfer with the extra lower octave. Bosendorfer is actually now owned by Yamaha.
