1973 Steinway L For Sale

[Ric Brekne]

Hey you two :)

Actually... stop to think about it and perhaps one should conclude that 
if used pianos sold for what they often are really worth that things 
might be quite a bit better for the rebuilders amoungst our midst.  Over 
here at any rate, an upright older then 15 years will not fetch more 
then 2000.00 USD period.  Very few exceptions.   Used grands are not 
much better really.  Only Steinways... and curiously enough small Yamaha 
grands seem to fetch a good price.

Perhaps this explains why rebuilders basically dont exist in this part 
of the world.  At least not in the sense of replacing soundboards / 
bridgecapping or the like. Just doesnt happen.  Take Stockholm for 
example... big city yes ???  Not one single piano store in the whole 
city.  I am not sure... but I think there are perhaps a couple bonified 
rebuilders in Danmark.... but  the rest of scandinavia is without.

Cheers
