This makes it extremely rare and unique. Interesting history, Janssen ... as I understand it, it was once owned by the Conn (trumpet and trombone) people with Charles Walters as the chief designer/production supervisor. If that's right, he must have found out how to make good pianos by an intensive study of mediocrity.<br/><br/>Alan Barnard<br/>Salem, MO<br/><br/>
