grotrian

[Gregor _]

no idea about the price, but some thoughts about Grotrian. Very good pianos, 
but the price is in my opinion too high. Most Grotrians I tuned are 
fantastic, but I saw some not so good ones, particularly the smaller ones 
from the 60`s or 70´s. Is it an upright? Grotrian 120 (120 cm high)? Should 
be a nice instrument. Here in Germany Grotrian is a well known and 
appreciated brand. No problem to sell it, no bad surprises.
