---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Ric In the spirit of dispassionate reality I have to agree with your assessments of the situation. It is what it is. I've got a Killer remanufactured D for sale . One of the best I've heard. I really love the sound of this piano as have the masses that have heard & played it but if a tech, company or whomever has no effective marketing avenue to sell such an item & make profit & do it again then it sits unsold. Now as it stands with me now I won't be buying any D's to speculate on again. No what I mean?To much money invested to long. So in my book marketing is everthing. A nine foot anything is a tough sell I know but This is a standout piano. Ready to go & can now be seen at the L.A. Atelier At the end of the day if you can't sell a product then your done. So advertising guys go with what works & I can't blame them a bit. I may not agree with it but if it's working then they/we stay in business. Dale Erwin Look at it this way David.... put your self in the shoes of the HGIC of Steinway. What are you going to do ? You have the biggest hit in the piano industry of all time... and millions of dollars riding on any decision you make, thousands of jobs, everything you ever worked for. You also probably actually believe in your own product... and hopefully actually like it. I personally dont have any difficulty understanding their choices. I dont really see it matters a hoot either. They make what they make, others make what they make... and we are all in the opinions pool together trying to decide for ourselves (and some of us for others as well) what we like the most. We fool ourselves into thinking its about whats <<best>>, but its as much a popularity contest as it is anything else. You cant blame any particular manufacturer for playing by rules written by others. The game is what it is.
