"Deal of the Century" X 2

[Alan]

The complete and very lengthy definition of "a really nice piano" would
include these words: "Not built by Stark or P.A. Anybody, also Winter &
Sons, Lester, anything associated with Aeolian after 1940, any grand
shorter than 5' 2" (or so, dimensions debatable), anything called a
spinet unless the word Acrosonic is written on it somewhere, etc."

Yes, at around five times the market value of the Stark (or Starck??)
with 
keys still in (if the case was fancy).
