I've seen techs snap up M's without *any* restoration for about the same price. And you can bet that a rebuilt, refinished M would be priced much, MUCH higher in a piano store. I'm thinking either the seller doesn't know the true value, or there's some issues with the piano that have not been divulged.<br><br><br>Terry "UniGeezer" Peterson<br>"Over 50, and not '2' Tired!" <br><a style="font-weight:bold" href="http://unigeezer.com/" target="_blank">www.unigeezer.com</a><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">To: pianotech@ptg.org<br>From: erwinspiano@aol.com<br>Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:50:42 -0400<br>Subject: Re: [pianotech] Steinway M on craigslist<br><br><font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2">SO it was re<font color="navy" face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif" size="2">-whatevered as we say...20 years ago.

Does this price seem low? <br>
<br>
Assuming the (2012) refinishing is a quality job, and the rebuild that was done 20 years ago is still in good condition, this seems like a steal. Of course, the term "rebuild" is often used inaccurately, and I don't know whether this piano was "completely restored", but it might be worth a look. <br>
