Perfect Walnut case. I'm interested in the current retail price
& a guesstimated fair market value for donation purposes. I have my
own ideas but am Interested in yours.<br>

Sorry I'm late on this one. I guess you already offloaded it.<br>
<br>
Based on what else is out there, I'd guess around 6-7k. I don't
know if Steinway even makes any consoles any more.</blockquote><br><br>
According to this web page:<br><br>
<a href="http://www.steinway.com/steinway/catalogue/models.shtml" eudora="autourl">
http://www.steinway.com/steinway/catalogue/models.shtml</a><br><br>
they still make both the 1098 and the 4510 (Sheraton) models.<br><br>
FWIW, the overriding reason that they stay in the upright business is
that over 90% of all retail (not commercial or institutional) clients who
buy the uprights "trade up" to a grand at some point in the
future; and, most of those who do, get Steinways. <br><br>
