<BR>How many used or rebuilt 9' pianos have you sold? It's a tough market for
<BR>those pianos. Every musician wants a 7' piano, but few have the space, nor
<BR>want to hear the volume of a 9' piano in their home.

<BR>I'm not denying that selling an Imperial grand is going to tough. How many
<BR>new ones do you suppose are sold every year? But even at $100,000, a good
<BR>rebuilt Imperial Bosy is a good buy. It might take a year or 2 to sell, but I
<BR>think there is a market out there for them.
