Avery,

My thoughts (based on a little experience) lean in the direction of the
dealer reducing the price even more.  The reasoning is that those seeking a
concert instrument are usually thinking Steinway or Yamaha.  Not that the
Baldwin isn't a consideration but some don't carry the weight the others do.
I've seen these sell for a cheap $15,000.00 (which is mind boggling) but
have none the less. If the piano in question has great tonal potential then
I would imagine even at $25,000.00 is a good deal.  My comment/opinion!:)
