These pianos firmly anchor the bell curve of piano quality being 
made, as they were, by folks who would make Jeff Foxworthy's examples 
of Rednecks look like Rhodes scholars. (and I'm not referring to the 
Fender folks)  Your quality tooner may have been in the factory.

My first exposure to these beasties was at a "Truckload Sale" held in 
a motel lobby. (one small step up from a tailgate sale)   I remember 
that the price was, you guessed it...  $1000.

That, my friends, is their only claim to the name "Grand".
