David, Couldn't agree with you more, regarding Seattle - I'm still buzzin'. Thanks for your great class. I tune a few CWs, and helped a customer purchase a 1981 a few years ago. I don't remember the cabinet appearance, but I have it in my records as "studio". He paid $2,200 for it, and we both thought it was a steal. NOTE: this is small town Wisconsin. Like yours, all it needed was tune/regulate/voice. So you'll have to extrapolate for location and age, but, hey, it's a data point for comparison.

So now I have a 1991 Queen Anne-style mahogany "tall" console; it's in immaculate shape, just needs some tightening, tuning regulatin' and voicing which I'll do. > Then it will look, sound and feel new and wonderful. At that point, what's a fair price for this micro-retailer to ask for such a sweet cupcake of a piano? Please don't guess; I'd like some experience-based answers, please. > > Appreciate you taking the time to think about this... > > DA
