You may use it a few times to see how things work, but eventually you have to move to a real piano. You can't pick a piano up and move it around like you can a model. (Advantage maybe?) My suggestions: Find a receptive rebuilder/technician. Buy an old grand. Make your own model. Go to a rebuilder and see if he has a grand you can fool around with. (My friend in Montreal is always helping people out who have an interest.)

Someone had recommended an action model, but if/when I get another piano, that's gonna be the test bed anyways. I'm planning on shopping for a piano today....maybe I'll ask if they need help.....
