<br>Steinerts are good pianos. Two tunings/year for 5 yrs certainly would
not break the bank,
<br>so you picked up the piano for under $1000 (if your tunings are $100
or less).
<p>Do the math, what does it need, what can you get for it.

were Steinway Knockoffs, Exact same plate, scaling-To my knowledge, Steinway
