Symphony Piano Sale

[Robin Hufford]

Terry,
    This fraud seems, unfortunately, characteristic of the marketing component of the piano industry  now - it is perpetrated repeatedly in the name of numerous  factories and institutions.  Should the "mark" realize they could have gotten the piano at a cheaper price prior to or after the "sale" and complain, the difference will be quietly refunded, something that is very instructive as to the consciousness of the sellers as to what it is they are doing.  There is a sucker born every day, apparently.
Regards, Robin Hufford

"During the sale, an extraordinary allocation of new and pre-owned Steenburgs and the Baaaston piano, designed by Steenburg, will be available for purchase." Imagine that! But wait, there's more! Other quality name brand new and used pianos will be sold at a fraction of their retail price. Hmmmm, I wonder what fraction - maybe four-thirds? That might work well.

Thursday is a "private closed-door sale" I very sorry to say that I will get a better price than you because "P.S. This letter entitles you to additional savings (screwings) not available to the general public."
