Square grands are what they are and as long as the customer completely understands their instrumental limits and still wants to restored it who am I to judge? I am from the school of thought that I can't judge the emotional value and historical value of someones piano, only the estimated market value. Even the market value of a square grand today is hard to judge, I have seen 4 or 5 sell recently here in Texas for upward of $15,000. David Koelzer Vintage Pianos DFW
