Real good points...but how many new Hamburg Steinways are available in the 
US...Bay Area specificallly?   Not many.  A real choice can probably only be 
made in Europe.   NY A's, B's & D's wouldn't be hard...the D will be a Hamburg.   
Same thing with the Fazoli...not many to choose from...I am putting the word on 
at least considering the Steingraeber...
