The New York Times reports that the selling price for Steinway was 100 million (!!) dollars. The company was on the market only four months before a buyer was found. The Birminghams, who bought the company in 1985, say they "beat inflation by a little bit" on their ten year investment. The Times also reports that there widespread amazement that the company fetched as much as money as it did. I sure would like to know the inside story. Kent Swafford
