Its a different economic Market . Here in the Ca central valley attracting high end buyers to drive over the hill to some IMO pretty fine instruments is difficult.... and its only 90 miles from S.F. Suffice it to say the greater bay area buys most of our rebuilt Steinways Mason & Hamlins etc. and has sent loads of restorations over the years Dale Erwin R.P.T. Erwin's Piano Restoration Inc.

Some people like your clients have an over rated opinion about what a basket case Steinway B is worth. But I will tell you my current market experience tell me 12 to 14 K. is what its worth -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
