I sincerely admire this position; I'm totally behind your high standards 
for your work and your own fulfillment.  I'm merely, as a compassionate 
associate, giving you a heads up about the radical difference in 
difficulty and level of Murphy with '70's Steinways......go for it; your 
attitude is one I respect.
Just don't forget to make some money.
