Clicking drop screws on a new Steinway

[Avery]

Dale,

I agree. But then you have the extra dollar amount (dollar vs. mark). 
Of course, after
you end up fixing all the problems (not warranty), the Hamburg would 
probably still be
cheaper.

I'm so glad we have a dealer here who has techs on salary that go 
through every S & S
and at least "try" to make it work correctly! Most cities don't!
