As I said, previously

"This piano will most likely be purchased by someone, more for the looks and investment value than the sound. It will end up in a mansion somewhere rarely played like so many other classic instruments."

I have no control over that. But to be perfectly honest with you, after 18 years of painstaking effort and substantial expense (he wasn't rebuilding/tuning other pianos or performing during this process resulting in a major loss of income), I'd sell it to the highest bidder.

But knowing Glen, one of the ten most remarkable people I have known in my life, in his heart, he wants it to go to a player.

While at his home (he's a sick jazz player but can make any classical piece his own), he performed several numbers for my wife, my sons (16 & 18) and myself. When he finished all four of us had tears streaming down our cheeks (I'm getting weepy thinking about it). For every reason possible, this was one of the greatest musical moments of our lives. A day we will never forget.

And thank you.
