[pianotech] Square's for $ 20K ? Is that possible?

[Euphonious Thumpe]

     Square grands suffer from "Beanie Baby Syndrome": they are sold for whatever someone is wiling to pay for them, independent of the considerations of actual musicians or piano technicians regarding their worth. So, when someone asks me what they should sell one for, I tell them "Whatever you can get for it, and be happy at the end of the day if someone is willing to take it for free!"
     But if someone asks what they should PAY for one, I tell them that their value is mainly as antique furniture, and that even a mediocre upright from the 1885-1915 period would be a better investment as far as musicality is concerned. (But more likely to have had mice in it, so watch out for that!)
