If it is indeed in *excellent* condition $4K-$5K is not unreasonable here for a large Steinway vertical. Even almost totally trashed they can bring a thousand if they have 88 keys. >Isn't the price on a new one about 15K? The last price I have is from 1996 when our dollar was worth more ($1 US=$1.48 CDN right now!) and for an ebony K-52 the dealer's price was $26,877 CDN dollars (plus 7% GST). There is a 10-year old K on a showroom floor here right now for $15,999 CDN, so that gives you an idea of their value here. John John Musselwhite, RPT Calgary, Alberta Canada musselj@cadvision.com
