<BR>Make it a project. Voice it, tune it, regulate it, and you may end=
up with something almost playable. Granted, it will never be great, b=
ut you'll gain some experience and end up with something better than what yo=
u started with.
<BR>
<BR>You're in the piano business. How could you let your parents buy o=
ne of those??

<BR>
<BR>So, there is a grand piano in your home?
<BR>
<BR>And does it have "a good responsive action, that allows for fairly fast
<BR>playing, and good dynamic control, and a good, full, rich, brilliant
<BR>tone, abundant in higher harmonics, all the way from A0 to C8, especiall=
y
<BR>on FF passages, but not harsh"?
<BR>
<BR>If so, why not play that piano - even if it is not a "9 foot piano", and
<BR>"even if it was not a Steinway"?
