All I can is Wow! I don't recall the brand anymore but, about 30 years ago, when I was working for Jerry Peterson, he took in a piano for rebuilding. He had his shop full of them anyway but, this one was very special. There wasn't a place on the thing that didn't have some kind of very beautiful ornate carving work on it. At that time, he had it insured for over $100,000, probably to low but, he was a cheap skate too. What a pretty piano that was. Haven't seen it since then. Don't know where it wound up either..

Check out this Broadwood advertised on E-Bay. If you just don't have that this week, a little further down there is a 1880 9' Beckstein at a reasonable $165,000. Or make an offer. http://cgi.ebay.com/John-Broadwood-Art-Case-Grand-Piano-Magnificent_W0QQitem Z150333770408QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Paintings?hash=item150333770408 <http://cgi.ebay.com/John-Broadwood-Art-Case-Grand-Piano-Magnificent_W0QQite mZ150333770408QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Paintings?hash=item150333770408&_trksid =p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1309%7 C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50> &_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240% 3A1309%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Mililani, Oahu, HI 808-349-2943 Author of: The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com _____ The Average US Credit Score is 692.
