Hey,  if there are any culpas around here with mea name on them, I'll pick'em 
up!
    I can't claim to be a retailer since I don't sell pianos, (well, 12 of 
them in 22 years.....),  I have only seen two of these Steinway 45's in my 
life, and drew my evaluation from them.  I figured $1600 would get the ball 
rolling.  It did, and thanks. 
    If there is a hot market at $6,000 or above for these, that is the sort 
of onfo that  makes me way glad to be part of this list.  Maybe I should ask 
if anybody will leave an offer standing of, say, $4,000 for the next one I 
see?  I certainly don't want to be walking past goldmines! 
Regards,
