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.

Cranberry walnut toast is my go-to bread these days.

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.

This listing is not for Don Bennett's shop. That's all I will say regarding A440.

No, their shop is PianoWorks. I was just talking about who i would trust in that area to look at a piano for me.

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.

In your neck of the woods, watch out for the Juarez Steinway rebuilds.
