If you will send me an email address (and anyone else as well that is interested) I will be happy to send you the .JPG. The piano is about 30 years old. It is made by Rippen in Holland. They made both a spinet (actually, a kind of a "tall" spinet--not sure what that model is called) and a grand. Mine is a grand. It has an aluminum frame with a teakwood hinged top piece. I believe the action is made by Renner. It has no "case" as such; the cast aluminum frame is anodized/painted a biege color. It has the typical grand features; una corda pedal shifts keyboard, etc. I have seen other instances of the same piano here and there in California over the years. There was one for sale at Compton Pianos in Southern California about 12 or 15 years ago; they wanted the ridiculous price of $30K. Since I bought mine for about $3500, in San Jose, new, about 30 years ago, I was moderately staggered by that price. Anyone want a picture, let me know. Or if you are in the So. Cal area and want to see/play it, anyone is welcome. But I'm only going to be here about another 30 days, after which I will move to Spokane, WA. BTW, I need a good RPT in Spokane - - can anyone recommend someone who knows what they are doing there?
