I do recall that when Larry Fine wrote his first edition his conclusion was that while the new piano market had landed on very hard times the used market seemed to cruise along under the radar screen. It seems to me the "asking price" for used pianos of all varieties and conditions in adverts (newspapers, "want advertisers," on the web) by private parties and dealers remains surprisingly high. Have the Chinese imports really demolished the used piano market? Patrick Draine Billerica, MA
