And Why?
As a performer, I would almost always choose the Boston, although it's impossible to say for sure, because pianos are as tempramental as women, if not more so (sorry, ladies, that's not meant to be patronizing). That would depend on the...

Ha ha ha ... sell them for less because of the bad economy. Sorry Charlie, it's still a handcrafted instrument ... I don't know what their production is, but it's not in the thousands of units per year.

Whats the catch? Is there a catch? Is it wise to get a piano which I have never played on? I would really appreciate input from people who have had experience with this sort of thing or who know a lot about pianos. My dad can't afford to spend...

Try to get on his good side. Tell him that this is your dream, and you're daddy's little girl, and daddy's help their little girls with their dreams. Something mushy like that. Show him how bad you really want it. Like practice all the time around...

Shoppers in Flip-Flops Drop $245000 on Salander Home Leftovers
Ten days before art dealer Lawrence Salander is scheduled be sentenced to prison for fraud and grand larceny, the contents of his Millbrook, New York, home were liquidated in an oddly festive auction.
Weekenders competed against antique dealers at Stair Galleries , in Hudson, New York, 115 miles north of Manhattan, on Saturday. Just two of 251 lots didn’t sell. The $245,000 total easily topped Stair’s high pre-sale estimate of $148,000.
The three-hour affair, replete with complimentary bagels and sandwiches, was to benefit creditors of Salander’s personal bankruptcy case.
Most items generated multiple bids, but it’s unclear how prices compared with what Salander paid in the international shopping spree that preceded his collapse.
The two top lots were a black Steinway baby grand piano and a large Chinese decorative vase, each for $10,000. (All prices exclude the 15 percent buyer’s commission, or 17 percent when paying by credit card.)
“I’m thrilled,” said Thomas Genova, the trustee overseeing Salander’s personal bankruptcy. “It was a great sale.”
