People really like their pianos. Maybe more so than their cameras. My
brother-in-law just semi-retired and moved from Princeton, New Jersey back
to Northern Idaho. Their new house was designed around his wife's Steinway
grand piano and wound up costing about $800,000. A couple here liked their
music and built an 8000 square foot house with a music room that can seat
about 140 people for concerts and her student's recitals. They have two
Steinway grands head-to-head for their beloved duets. He suddenly developed
severe Alzheimer's and had to be institutionalized. She has moved another
piano player in so she can continue her duets. Almost makes my camera
addiction look mild by comparison. /jim

Hi Boris,
Sorry to cause you more pain and grey hairs!!
Actually, the Brewster would never make it into the USA as the white keys
are genuine ivory - probably mammoth ivory. Endangered species, and all that
Not to mention a weight of about 450 pounds. I can't lift one end any more.
You won't get genuine ivory keys on a digital keyboard ;-)
They are SO nice to touch. And the sound is real analogue.
Brian
