The only thing preventing me from owning a Steinway & Sons produced piano, is Steinway & Sons Customer Service. They should work on that.
Fortunately the piano I want the most is sold by Steinway & Sons!
Unfortunately the piano I want the most is only sold by Steinway & Sons.

Funny…I just had a call last week; some guy looking for a grand piano plate to hang in his music studio….didn’t ask why though….you just never know what is going to sell in the marketplace……

I wonder if the tone in this is similar to a Memphis Aeolian...the price is certainly right. http://albany.craigslist.org/bab/2217280454.html

Six time twelve is, uhhhh, 60 + 12 = 72. Add four, ummm, 73, 74, 75, 76! I get 76. Where did I go wrong? Kees

Makes me wonder about myself......Maybe I should check for missing fingers on myself?

I thought maybe Dale is missing four fingers and could only count up to 64 with the remaining 6. If you post a picture of your hand I'll be happy to count them for you to make sure Cheers, Kees
