David,<div>Amonth ago Our local Steinway dealer has a Walter studio traded in toward a pricey new S&S grand, and they sold the Walter to a customer of mine for $1,999. I'll be tuning it soon, but this was a really good deal for my customer (this dealer seldom prices low). Definitely more like a Craigslist price.<span></span></div>

I've never really come across a Walter piano in my practice; at conventions or NAMM, yes, but never in the wild. So now I have a 1991 Queen Anne-style mahogany "tall" console; it's in immaculate shape, just needs some tightening, tuning regulatin' and voicing which I'll do.<br>
Then it will look, sound and feel new and wonderful. At that point, what's a fair price for this micro-retailer to ask for such a sweet cupcake of a piano? Please don't guess; I'd like some experience-based answers, please.<br>

Appreciate you taking the time to think about this...<br>
