<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Why not consider a rebuilt
D from one of our "State of the art rebuilders "</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Ron Nossaman, Dale Erwin, Jude
Reveley, David Anderson and others .Instead of a beat piano with who knows
what issues, you get a piano that has been maximized for performance
.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> If you were at the Rochester
rebuilders showcase in 2006 you would know what I mean.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As for Warranty -It is not a
dealer warranty --it is a manufacturers warranty and our friends in N.Y. have
never had a piano that needed warranty service anyway. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Just my opinion.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My church is shopping for a concert
grand. I understand that many major manufacturers provide new
pianos for concerts, recitals, etc., and then after five years or so,
sell these pianos through dealers for a substantial discount, compared to
the cost of a brand new one. I have heard the term "C&A" (Concert
and Artist) applied to Steinway Ds; I assume this is what that term
means.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Any reason NOT to buy such a
piano? I wouldn't expect it to be perfect cosmetically, I can live
with a few scratches and dings here and there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. How much should we expect to
pay? Is say, 75% of the price of a new one a reasonable amount?
Or would 50-60% be more like it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Could we expect the dealer to provide
the same warranty we would get for a brand new one?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
