I need to counter some of the negative comments about the Whitney spinet. No, it is not the best instrument in the world. But I owned quite a few of these instruments when I had my rental program, and I thought they were worth every bit the price I paid for them, (usually in the $250 - $400 range). I would sell them for about $900 -- $1200. (of course that included delivery and a free tuning). <BR>

It is an entry level piano, and $500 is an OK price if the piano is in tune, and has been maintained. <BR>
