<html><div style='background-color:'><P><BR><BR></P> <DIV>Clyde,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for the great review you did of the Piano Bluebook! </DIV> <DIV>From what you say, it sounds like it would be a good book to peruse sometime, but not especially necessary for running our businesses.<BR><BR><BR>> The "Grand" brand name gets a page. Quote: "Grand feels they </DIV> <DIV></DIV>>offer an instrument most suited to the mass music market simply because <DIV></DIV>>they have developed a precision built piano with a fine sound, in a <DIV></DIV>>beautifully finished and styled cabinet to be sold at a price that <DIV></DIV>>enables more people to place a marvelous musical instrument in the <DIV></DIV> <P>>home." Hm. Not quite the way I would say it. </P> <P>Ah Clyde................................,  I always knew you were a diplomat, but now I realize you belong to the elite corps of diplomats!!!!</P> <P> </P> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Pro-Net Discounts, Lease Return, and Residual Piano Prices - about five <DIV></DIV>>pages I do not understand. Depending on your slice of piano business, I >reckon you will. <P>Those might be real helpful to those of us who currently, or hope to in the future, rent and sell pianos (if they are any more accurate than the description of the Grand piano).</P> <DIV></DIV>> (Does anyone really lease a 9' Bosendorfer?) <P><sigh></P> <P>Diane</P> <P>Diane Hofstetter 245-M Mount Hermon Rd.#343 </P> <DIV></DIV> <P>Scotts Valley, CA 95066 </P> <DIV></DIV> <P>ph 831-438-6222 </P> <DIV></DIV> <P>fax 831-430-9741 </P> <DIV></DIV> <P>dianepianotuner@hotmail.com </P> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://go.msn.com/bql/hmtag_itl_EN.asp'>http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></html>
