I love seeing these old things. The old upright has long been maligned and discounted as not being a "real" piano. Yet with some decent design work they can, and do, rival grands with scales of comparable length. We don't often come across customers with the specific need for a great upright piano but when we do the pianos always deliver.

I presume you meant from a financial standpoint? I'd have to agree with you there. But from a musical instrument point of view, I would respectfully disagree. What if you want an absolute top-sounding piano and simply do not have the room for a decent sized grand in your 500 square foot abode? This approach here is the ticket!
