Bush and Lane upright.

[Farrell]

Hi Greg. If you have room for an upright in your life, I highly recommend looking into this. I currently have four high-end uprights, so I simply can't justify it (or at least it would not be worth it - the wife and all that). I service one Bush & Lane upright. It is generally built like a tank, has a bent laminated rim like a grand, and the plate has a full capo section like a grand (hard to get mutes in there). It is truly an "upright grand". Top that off with all the good reports you hear of these pianos, and add to it the description that Gordon gives of an attractive and unusual case, etc. and it appears this may be a piano like few others, and certainly like nothing produced today - cream of the crop!
