I think this dude deserves an answer from the far-flung geographical 
corners among our list members. Just to remind him that while the 
community he has bothered is virtual, the piano he's hoping to buy 
and the distance it will have to be shipped is not.

Aint the iNet great? A local youth theater group here in southern 
Vermont was looking for a good 45-48" piano to replace the worn yet 
solid 50-year-old Gubransen studio upright. I just heard that one of 
the parents had just tracked down a used Yamaha U1 (U2?) in PA, flew 
down in his private plane to look at it and possibly snap it up 
yesterday, in which case he would do a second trip trip with a rented 
truck. No word as top whither this is a dealer or private owner, or 
the piano is a 3-year-old being liquidated because somebody's stock 
portfolio crashed or more likely a 30-year-Old Grey Mare.
