Sorry Armand, the best upright pianos ever made were during = the 20's, but made in Canada.

Armond, spelled with an "o". i guess Deb Rogers should have set out to buy a 1927 Canadian Upright inste= ad of the Steinway Grand she did buy, obviously from a questionable "pi= ano dealer". Canada is for socialized medicine, not pianos. </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
