But if someone had only $2000 to spend on a playable instrument, would you recommend that they buy a Steinway L for $2000 that is unplayable, or a $2000 console that does play? Remember, they don't have ANY more money to spend on a piano. By the same token, would you recommend they spend $500 on a Baldwin Studio that is unplayable, or $500 on a Whitney that does play. Again, remembering that they don't have ANY more money to spend on a piano. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
