Ryan, Boy have you hit a major nerve with me. Based on your comment, everyone should upgrade to a grand. Nearly 99 percent of my business is the pianos you mentioned below. If which 99 percent have no space for a grand or don't want a grand. And to top things off, I own an antique player piano which is a Story & Clark which I feel is a good quality instrument. Finally, I also rebuild antique pump organs which are not upgradeable. So please keep your blanket statements to yourself. P.S. I recently acquired a player piano rebuilt job for a Gulbransen piano.
