    I have a friend who is a budding concert pianist and is looking for =
an instrument. He has moved from my area but is asking for direction in =
his search. He found an Astonia(?) grand that he likes and is within his =
budget but I know nothing about this brand.=20
    Anyone?     Anyone?=20

    Thanks,=20

  It's Estonia, built in the republic of Estonia. Let's put it this way, =
there are 16 brands of grand pianos 9' and over, ranging in price from =
$39,500 to $108,390. Guess where the Estonian is? As the old adage says, =
you get what you pay for.=20

  I don't have any personal experience with the instrument as far as =
tuning is concerned, but there is a 9' Estonia grand in the show room of =
the local piano dealer. It sounds great, and plays nice. So if your =
friend likes it, then by all means, have him buy it. But if his budget =
only allows him to pay $39,000 for a piano, perhaps a 7'- 7'9" grand for =
the same price (Petrof, Yamaha, Kawai, Schimmel), might be a better =
investment.=20
