We took this photo there a while back: I believe they will still sell this as a special order, model "Brussel". Expect to pay 3x what a plain-case BÃ¶sendorfer would cost, though. Oui! That seems to be an early (?) ver. of the one pictured first in my org. post. Current: Yamaha Clavinova Sold: Yamaha M5J Walnut Playing ability: Absolute Beginner(s)

If I had to pick one I would choose one you picked, Grove Park. Video (not too exiting) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5IdqnsDxaM Was for sale for 100 000 USD. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Steinway-B-...nly-Two-built-Steinway-NYC-/200700352853 Originally Posted by Paul S.

I think it`s too much to ask of them that they look good . . . their cars certainly don`t. Get the French on the job. Last edited by peterws; 02/07/13 05:58 PM. "I am not a man.

OP boyonahill Full Member B Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 99	I finally found two really nice Steinway special grands: S.L.ED by Karl Lagerfeld http://www.steinway.com/pianos/steinway/limited-edition/karl-lagerfeld/ and Count Goertzâ€™s 125th Anniversary Limited Edition Grand Piano http://www.steinway.com/pianos/steinway/limited-edition/the-125th-anniversary/ The Lagerfeld one is cooler, but the GÃ¶rtz looks really liveable and the one I would like to have if I was buying one.
