List: Is it possible that the appraiser was looking at this piano not as a musical intsrument but as an "objet d'art"? I haven't seen it, but I have seen a huge touring exhibit (mounted, I believe, by the Montreal Museum of Art, but which I saw at the National Gallery in Ottawa) called "What Modern Was", whose theme was Modern (with a capital M) Design in all its transmogrifications from Art Deco and Bauhaus through to the most egregious excesses of the sixties, and including everything from streamlined toasters through Shmoo-shaped stoneware to a Studebaker Avanti. It is possible that someone with 32K to spend on a PSO/POS might find that its design fit very nicely into their Frank Lloyd Wright mansion. There are certainly a lot of things around whose monetary value bears no relationship to their functionality. Tim Keenan Noteworthy Piano Service Terrace, BC
