Aound here (central Iowa), Quarter Grands seem to be the Ford F150s of the piano world -- they're ubiquitous and they keep chugging along. Of course, I undoubtedly see a lot of them because Maurice Roseburrough rebuilt a lot of them during the '70s-'90s (and because they've stayed in the Midwestern climate). But their owners love them, and they're providing good service. And, of course, they don't cost a lot...... I bought one, cheap, from a local HS (case is a mess, and the soundboard is covered in glitter, but MR had repinned/restrung/rebuilt it at some point), and I'm sure it will prove to have been a good investment when I finally sell it. Right now, I'm having fun playing it. I'd take another if it was offered to me.
