Guess where the Estonian is? As the old adage says, you get what you pay for. I don't have any personal experience with the instrument as far as tuning is concerned, but there is a 9' Estonia grand in the show room of the local piano dealer. It sounds great, and plays nice. So if your friend likes it, then by all means, have him buy it. But if his budget only allows him to pay $39,000 for a piano, perhaps a 7'- 7'9" grand for the same price (Petrof, Yamaha, Kawai, Schimmel), might be a better investment.
