I presume you meant from a financial standpoint? I'd have to agree with you there. But from a musical instrument point of view, I would respectfully disagree. What if you want an absolute top-sounding piano and simply do not have the room for a decent sized grand in your 500 square foot abode? This approach here is the ticket!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
