I totally agree that these are fine instruments. The dealership here claimed that the cost to make these pianos was excessive and that a price differential was poorly received by the buying public.When they sold out their stock here , some folks got superb deals for this now discontinued model. It seems that the last of the really great feeling pinblocks went away with these models, too.
