[CAUT] S&S A vs. S&S O

[David Ilvedson]

I've looked at few A's and found them very nice, but as usual you need to check geometry...how many leads in the keys etc.   Each one is a different beast...;-]   Has anyone been at the "factory rebuilt" Steinway sales going around the country?   I found a great A from the 30's....$47,000 for a customer...
