<p align="left"><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">I won't be sure if it's a Sohmer & Co or not until I see it tomorrow for an evaluation. It's a 6'2" grand. The fellow at the church said they can buy it at $12,900. I have no idea what the retail is for such a beast, but it sounds like a good price. They would rather have a Yamaha, but the funding isn't there....</font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">pw</font> <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
