You might not be out of line. I just saw an '89 7'4" Falcone on
pianomart.com for $35K. You're right about name recognition, but maybe
your client would do better if the piano were on consignment in a
dealer showroom which gets some traffic. If it plays better/sounds
better than, say, the Yamaha sitting next to it, it might have a better
chance.<br>
<br>
Or put it on Pianomart.<br>
