At that time it had a suggested price of $8800. Selling price back then was probably more in the low $6000 range. If your customer wants to get an overview on Samick pianos, direct them to: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search (formerly Deja News) Type in rec.music.makers.piano At: Newsgroup Return only messages from the "newsgroup" and do a search on Samick. What they should do is request to have the piano set up and checked over by a piano technician. The price sounds reasonable; however the last SG-172 we traded in had loose pins and had to be re-strung. In it's favor would be the size and cost. Negatives is that it is a Korean piano and would would fall below a Yamaha in terms of quality. By all means she should have her brother sit down and try it out before she buys it, especially given his training. A used Hyundais or Kia car would be reasonable to buy, but not necessarily everyons first choice. -- Glenn Grafton Grafton Piano & Organ Co. 1081 County Line Rd.
