cheap concert grands?

[David Ilvedson]

Two years ago our local community performance organization bought a 1956
Baldwin D for $12,000.   It is a pretty nice instrument, looks good and
sounds great except it could having a little more singing tone in the
killer octave.  Classical pianists complain about that but the jazzers love
it.  I think we got a steal...

Could someone recommend some good brands and models of 
9-foot grand pianos?  I'm trying to price some concert 
grands for under $10,000 (preferably under $7,000).  I 
don't care if they need work on them, so long as they 
can get by with a tuning and regulation in order to 
make all 88 notes sound. 




A good concert grand for under $10,000 is an oxymoron. You either want a 
cheap concert grand that look decent and will just barely stay in tune, and

needs lots of work to regulate, or you want a good concert grand that
cannot 
be tuned because the block is shot, nor regulated because the parts are 
completely worn out, and looks like hell.
