Japanese Steinway Prices

[Rob Kiddell]

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;
