When I went to Havana two months ago, as I think I mentioned earlier, I took a Hohner HM-927 (first Piano 27) with me and gave it to a singer/guitarist at Patio de la EGREM.

I have two pairs away when I got home, keeping the best sounding after careful comparisons — also quite nice looking. Same pair in different exposures:
