S Consoles

[piannaman at aol.com]

Barbara,
 
My experience with these is somewhat limited, but the ones I've tuned have not been inspiring instruments.  
In a nutshell,
 
Postitives:  Nice cases, Steinway decals
 
Negatives:  Hard to tune, overpriced, uninspiring tone
 
One could purchase a decent and far less quirky new studio upright piano for what she's likely to pay for a Steinway console.
 
Just MHO,
 
Dave Stahl

Help!  Quick!
 
My sister-in-law is on the hunt for a used piano and has asked me to look at a Steinway Console for her.  It's been a long, long time since I've serviced any of these and only remember that I didn't like them.  Besides difficulty in tuning is there anything else I can say to persuade her to look elsewhere?
 
E-mail privately if you don't want to go on record.....  :-)
