anything until a buyer pays the money! We are all
just<BR>guessing at these older pianos' value, at
best. I don't see many of these<BR>on the
market, either. but a 28 year old Yamaha concert grand might be
worth<BR>$40,000 if the board is still good and sustain still
sufficient. I wouldn't<BR>expect to see a higher price, but
having to go lower wouldn't surpise me, at<BR>all. I have seen
some E-bay deals that stunned me, ( a 1978 Steinway D for<BR>$24,000, really
nice shape and now in a recording studio).<BR> Since you asked,
do the list a favor by letting us know what the piano<BR>ultimately sells
for when it does!<BR>Regards,<BR>Ed Foote
