Hi Dale. I can only dream. Even the flight to US is reasonnably out of my reach. Bah, never mind, I'll stick to my latest 1878 Bechstein 7 footer, which is, I believe, the 19th century Erwinlike piano (yet, I got it for 4000 euros, which is 5233 US dollars). Up to me to give it a comparable facelift. Dreaming again ... Best, yes, best regards.

Oh Stephane Thanks You!....I consider your remarks a huge compliment. But let me give perspective politely concerning only one thing Stephane wrote Even I, who am definitely involved in pianos, will never, I mean never, have the kind of bucks necessary to buy a Dale Erwin customized Steinway piano. No, never. Though I really would like this. But other alternatives stand for me (that is the motto). What I want to say is that in the specialization niches, it is always the same : you have to pay much, very much for something that is barely a little better. In my case I'm not getting the kind of money Steinway is but I am still offering a customized piano anyway. See my web site & view The Long 6 ft 4 inch Steinway A in polished mahogany. $55 thousand buys a piano with twice the horsepower, finesse & tonal texture as the Brand new factory Steinway N.Y A is. IMHO. Plus Ivory & artist bench....such a dela Of course it's still a lot of money. I understand but you can always send me a basket case & I would be honored to customize it just for you my friend.
