Greetings List, I've been communicating with a fellow in Japan and he sent me some prices for Steinways. You have been giving me valuable information on piano, but I have not been able to give you any valuable information for you. A few days ago, my daughter received an advertizement for used Steinway&Sons from a piano shop affiliated to a local college of music. I hope it is interesting for you to know how much do they cost in Japan. Some of them are; Model Size Serial Finish Keys Reconditionings included Price(JPY) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- O 180cm 223845 B,mirror ivory FP, new H/S, D and W 3,700.000.
