Oh, my head hurts after listening to some of these 'pitches'. It makes me wonder whether there are just plain regular people who sell a good piano for a fair price without all the hype. >> Not to blow my own horn to much, but at Blees Piano, our "sales" staff doesn't give hype, or bull *&^%. etc. I have trained my people to be honest and straight forward. We probably loose a sale or two, but many of our customers say they bought from us because we didn't hype them into buying a piano they didn't want. One word about the term "a good value." You have to understand that pianos come in all shapes, sizes, conditions, age, etc. A "good value" just means that you get what you pay for. This kind of goes along with my other response regarding repairs. You do what is necessary to make it work, even if it isn't the "correct" repair. Some people only have $1000, and so they get a piano that plays relatively well, sort of stays in tune, and looks half way decent. They are getting a "good value" for their money. Unfortunately, there are some dealers that will sell a piano for $1000 that should have been land fill, but then that's another story. Willem Blees
