Hi, Ben,
I’m afraid I can’t speak to this personally, since I use a very old-fashioned format. (After leaving CSU Long Beach, I only track about 25 concert pianos now.)
But my husband David Vanderlip has been using TapForms for several years now and is very happy. Trust me when I say he’s tried many, from the ludicrously huge and unwieldy to the smaller and less useful. He’s very happy now, and tracks a great deal of information. He has it on his iPhone and information flows easily to his other computers. He can also transfer information to his subcontractors, get their invoices, enter the data, and so on. He finds it very versatile and can bring up anything he needs.
David Vanderlip and Susan Babcock are both using it for for large college inventories. I’m afraid they don’t watch this site often, but you could contact them offline.
And I’m sure many other people will offer their ideas, I know there are a lot of popular databases in common use today.

Hello All,
Cory J's thread has evolved into several different topics, and I thought it would be best to start a new thread than confuse the other one ;)
Cory asked about invoicing, said he used Excel. What do you CAUTs use for invoicing? Hand-in-hand, what do you use for record keeping for that many pianos?
