OK, the dealer managed to bridge another 1K of the gap, and I pulled the trigger.
This is the baby.

Next, you are expected to post piano moving videos and your performance recorded with that piano. Congratulations!

Thanks! I'm not sure whether congratulations are appropriate, but I figured that life is too short for suboptimal pianos
My family will regret this. They'll soon have to endure more of my strumming it in the living room.

Can't wait to hear that. Now, if you only dedicated as much attention on that piano as you do for the kazoo...

I find it interesting that, if you look at the Grotrian website, depending on whether one chooses the English language option or not, the decal changes.
I personally prefer the "Grotrian-Steinweg" decal.

I believe that Steinway had issues with Grotrian-Stenweg back in the day, alleging that Steinweg was an attempt to confuse the US audience into thinking they were getting a German Steinway. As I understood it, as a result of a settlement, Grotrian agreed to not use the Steinweg name in North America. At least that's the story I was told. Larry or one of our other pros would know if that's true.
