Best pianos ever made

[Jonathan Finger]

As one who played some of the first that Del's talking about, I
understand what he's saying.  There are always high end verticals that
will compete with grands.

Del, we still have a couple of those out here in the field, and from
what I hear, they've held up remarkably well, and are still a force to
be reckoned with.  :)

How's it going btw?  I haven't seen or talked to you in a few years.

Tell that to the folks who compared our 122 cm vertical piano to grands
in
the 5' 10-1/2" to 6' 3" range.

The thing about era's is that they change....
