<br> Any idea what the piano sells for in U.S. dollars.
I feel N.Y goofed when they discontinued this gem!

<p>I will check on the Norwegian price... the Kroner is about 7 to one
against the dollar. (7 NOK = 1 USD), and prices in Norway are artificially
high on most things because of the very aggressive tax and fees politics
in this country. But as I remember she paid about 350,000 NOK. Dont quote
me on that tho. I'll ask her tommorrow or Tuesday.

<p>btw A brand new Steinway D (Hamburg) goes for 1,100,000 here in Norway...
including artist bench, a trip to Hamburg to pick out your instrument,
and the usual cakes, muffins, champagne, and other butterings they use
:).... so 1,075,0000 for the piano.... roughly. Not much room for pushing
the price down either.
