I often feel like such a noob asking things like this, but What IS a Quarter Grand??  Sounds like $250 to me. Also, I once heard a brief explanation of the origin of "Cabinet Grand" and "Upright Grand", but it was a long time ago from a non-tech and I never really fully understood what he said. Same as QG?

Of course, I undoubtedly see a lot of them because Maurice Roseburrough rebuilt a lot of them during the '70s-'90s (and because they've stayed in the Midwestern climate).  But their owners love them, and they're providing good service.  And, of course, they don't cost a lot...... I bought one, cheap, from a local HS (case is a mess, and the soundboard is covered in glitter, but MR had repinned/restrung/rebuilt it at some point), and I'm sure it will prove to have been a good investment when I finally sell it.  Right now, I'm having fun playing it.  I'd take another if it was offered to me.
