The whole Steinway discussion

[RicB]

There is an old standard in buisness that goes along the lines that if a 
market isnt there by virtue of its own nature... then you create it.  
Such an idea is interesting and would succeed if you can find a way to 
appeal to a big enough and important enough part of the the existing 
market.

It might be easier however for a given Steinway dealer to custom prep 
instruments to their peak... hand picking the best they can get from the 
factory to begin with and selling these to the public at large for a 
higher price.  Given this internet world, and the right kind of 
marketing...  that sounds like a doable to me at any rate.

    Without knowing anything about distribution agreements here is a
    question:
    Would it be possible for a motivated Steinway dealer to fully
    prepare/repair
    factory shipments and resell them to other dealers at higher price than
    Steinway direct?  Would there be a demand?
