Why do we assume that they were ripped off? $17000 for the Concert grand plus $6000 of a good techs work makes a good concert grand for less than $25000, in my book that is reasonable. Ed Tomlinson << Ok, your point is what? It's a 1955 piano. How many 9 foot grands don't need $6,000 or more of work after 44years of use. Yeah, for $17k they were ripped off. But why does this disparage "gray-market" pianos? The dealer is at fault here! Japan is simply one source of used pianos. This church could have been just as easily ripped off with a worn out USA market Yamaha. >>
