    Used pianos, all comes down to their conditions.
    Looks like you have a very nice space for the piano.
    Don’t know if you have ever mentioned it, does Mrs. Horace play the piano?
    In any case, good luck with your quest for a grand piano.

    Thanks Ax. No she doesn’t play. But has expressed interest in learning.

          Caveat: I don't know her from Eve. She's the product of an internet search and for all I know, could be a cereal killer.

            Magic Spoon is the cereal killer. I’m getting my first delivery today as chance would have it.

              For me it was a hard boiled egg and cranberry walnut toast.

                  There's an SF10 in Altanta on ebay. They'll deliver for $15K. I suspect they'll do better and you'd need a tech to review their "refurbishing."

                    I looked at a couple SFs. They were both studio and concert pianos and were very used. Both needed work to be their best. That’s not a piano many put in their homes.

                      I go back and forth, every other day, Cheerios - Corn Chex

                      I have never heard of Magic Spoon.

                      But I'm willing to try something new, let's check Magic Spoon vs Cheerios
                      https://knoji.com/compare/magicspoon-vs-cheerios/

                      Magic Spoon wins 4.2 to 3.9 but the methodology is questionable

                      How about cost on Amazon?
                      Between $1.07 and 1.81 per ounce for Magic Spoon

                      Between $0.25 and $0.27 per ounce for Cheerios

                      Cheerios wins

                        This reviewer says that Magic Spoon stuck to her teeth.

                        Is that why you pay extra?

                          That sounds great. But sadly, it seems I overestimated my wife's enthusiasm for this project. Well, I'll still check out those Baldwins today. I hope they don't sound too good. My heart will be broken.

                            Don or Sam Bennett in the Atlanta area.

                            Don's shop redid all of LSU's stuff after a flood a few years ago. I'd trust them.

                                  The two Baldwins were pretty good. I liked the wood finish one most. The MH was comically bad in every possible way. The Steinway was pretty awful sounding too.
