PSO = piano shaped object, Bill. I first saw the term in a press release by a 
Steinway exec. referring to all other pianos that are not the "instrument of 
the immortals." Further, Bill, I was not "trashing" Steinway - only their 40" 
console. Although it is an "OK" piano (Ive never played one better than OK) 
it is NOT the same quality as their larger uprights. 

Might be why they don't make 'em anymore. Just a hunch.
