There also is not any other grand in as much demand as S&S grands. I can buy 65/70 year old Chickering/Knabe/M&H, etc. for anywhere from 400 to 3500 dollars I can't think of a single S&S grand that I can touch, of any age, for anywhere near that amount. I don't know what Steinway says on their page or in their advertising..but if they say anything like 'S&S grands hold their 'value' better than anything else on the market and 'appreciate' in value better than anything else on the market and are more 'expensive' to acquire than anything else on the used market'...than I will agree with Steinway.
