Hi John! It was good seeing you up in Seattle. I'll be playing with the A440 band if they'll have me again! You better be there... :-) I actually bought The Piano Book when I was in Grand Rapids, and it was sitting on the shelf staring at me all this time. I also found the semi-annual update that Larry Fine puts out at www.pianobuyer.com . Combining everything I've learned here in the last few days, plus the Piano Book[s], I was able to put together what I felt was a fairly accurate value. I should hear from her tomorrow and I'll see just how good she thought I did, too... :-) Thanks again, John.
