Hello list, My church is shopping for a concert grand. I understand that many major manufacturers provide new pianos for concerts, recitals, etc., and then after five years or so, sell these pianos through dealers for a substantial discount, compared to the cost of a brand new one. I have heard the term "C&A" (Concert and Artist) applied to Steinway Ds; I assume this is what that term means. Questions: 1. Any reason NOT to buy such a piano? I wouldn't expect it to be perfect cosmetically, I can live with a few scratches and dings here and there. 2. How much should we expect to pay? Is say, 75% of the price of a new one a reasonable amount? Or would 50-60% be more like it? 3. Could we expect the dealer to provide the same warranty we would get for a brand new one? Thanks, Paul Mulik Joplin MO -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: https://www.moypiano.com/ptg/pianotech.php/attachments/20070814/88270a03/attachment.html
