Hello List, I need to know the current consensus on Steinway square pianos. I've received several calls from excited persons regarding one for $950. described as looking quite nice, out of tune, missing some "pads." I'm not sure if pads refer to dampers or hammers. My answer has been: "I don't work on squares as they are problematic and this is probably not a good choice for anyone looking for a playable-serviceable piano. Its' value would as an antique or collectors item, but you may should check with some other techs to see if they service them." Considering this is a Steinway, is this a fair synopsis? What percentage of techs do service squares? What is the value of this piano? Thank-you in advance. Mike Jorgensen RPT
