Dear Folks,
A customer requested me to evaluate a 5'10" Boston grand, reportedly 2-3 
years old, with a QRS Pianomation 2000C unit. Being sold by a store 
which sells mostly Chinese manufactured pianos and Japanese grey market 
pianos. Asking price $16,000, or $14,000 if they pull the player unit 
off.
The potential buyer has no interest in the QRS unit -- they're getting a 
piano to upgrade from a very small well worn no name grand, to something 
their son isn't incredibly frustrated with (he's a good pianist). What 
is the wholesale/retail value of a QRS installation anyways?
I went out, inspected it, looks & sounds good.
Anybody out there who works on them have any comments -- quality, 
pricing?
Also, my Pierce atlas isn't brand new -- anyone able to give the year of 
manufacture for this Boston GP 178 "II" # 132905?
