Jim, Larry, list.... I can't resist this.... While conducting early Steinway grand research I just learned that the very first production ancestor to the model "B" Steinway, and the first production Steinway to resemble a modern Steinway, was sold to someone in.... Mexico! This is a big deal, and I'd love to locate it (I'm still on a high from finding the first "B" prototype, #19434 double iron grand prototype, in Belgium.....) The serial number is #25006, and it was sold to “A Wagner & Levien Mexico July 18, 1872” I assume that this was a dealer. The piano will look like an early jointed-rim Steinway, only 6'8", but with modern full plate and a model "B" stringing scale (20 note bass). So ask Larry Fine to keep his eyes open for it, OK? :) Bill Shull In a message dated 6/4/2007 3:06:53 P.M.

She is thinking of buying the piano which is on loan to her and moving it down there. It is a 1969 Yamaha G2. I don’t know anything about the price or availability of used pianos there, or the state of piano technology. Anyone know about the piano scene in Mexico, and/or have an opinion as to whether it is worth shipping this piano there? Thanks for any help.
