That is only good to a certain extent.  After the kid, or adult=
 progresses to a certain level, it will be more beneficial to=
 practice on a not so great piano.  It can do many great wonders=
 to piano technique.

That's not what Ryan said, Mr. Hechler. Too bad about your nerve,=

the same one you often hit when your past rants about M.S.
I will do exactly what Ryan said also. Finding a junk spinet or=
 console in 
a nice home with an older child or younger taking serious lessons=
 on it will 
bring on a discussion with the mother or father. I don't care if=
 they ever 
call me back to tune for them. I tell them that children and or=
 adults will 
practice more and can get much more from the practice with a good=
 piano. I 
have never had anyone get mad at me, they say wow! No one has had=
 the nerve 
to be honest with us about the piano. After all someone gave it=
 too us and 
we really thought it would be nice to have a better piano for our=
 
son/daughter to play. Note I didn't say "Grand." And I never=
 follow the 
above discussion with the fact that I might h! ave used pianos=
 for sale.

Play your antique piano all you want Mr. Hechler I'll keep on=
 enjoying my 
grand piano and having the pleasure of going back to my customers=
 house when 
they call to say they purchased a better piano.

Why should Ryan keep his statement to himself? You never follow=
 that advice. 
Now do you?
