large uprights

[Phil Bondi]

I have had this conversation with 2 local piano dealers..the conversation
that involves carrying larger verticals as opposed to smaller Grands..their
point is this: They will sell the small Grand long before the larger
vertical..there is a certain prestige to owning a grand as opposed to a
vertical..tone quality?..what's that?!?

Right now, in 2 different dealers in this area, there is a Baldwin 6000 in
one dealership, and a very old S&S Upright in another..both of them blow
away anything less than 6' on their floor right now, and that includes the
S&S M that this upright stands next to.

Del, would you agree, to a point, that the 6000, dollar for dollar, is the
best thing from Truman right now? To these ears, it is...maybe you had a
hand in its design?

ps - both of these dealerships have way too many verticals in their
inventory right now. You can buy one for next to nothing..but their Grand
inventory is..let's say..slim.
