I agree with your observation referencing electric guitars. As a lifelong player, it's sickening
to read about the Les Paul or Fender Strat that goes to auction and gets snatched by some
non player which will likely just display it.
I can only admire those pieces and imagine wrapping my hands around an instrument of that caliber.
What's more comical, people with financial means also pay big dollars for a pseudo played/aged guitar that appears to have been played in some juke joint,complete with cigarette burns.
That piano is a fabulous piece, but a little garish and would only look appropriate in your
turn of the century estate!

I developed my ear for music as a child learning piano on a run of the mill Chickerig upright.
Every piano has its own personality and I'm guessing that one has that "woody" somewhat muted tone and comes alive only with a physical plater?
A facilitating read; I learned so much.
Thanks for the link. It does look like a great read.
You certainly got some AA members blood pressure up over your original post!
I am really enjoying my conversation with slapshot. Here's a very smart guy who puts his money where his mouth is. The conversation is respectful and I'm learning a lot.
This book will totally blow your mind. If you are really into these things first start with his other book, Mad In America, a history of treating the mentally ill. I can vouch for some of the more modern madness being a survivor of the neuroleptic period. Enjoy.
Oh sorry, now I'm getting confused. I thought you were referring to another book I linked during my discussion with slapshot.
Yes, Grand Obsession is awesome. I learned more about pianos from this book than all my previous reading and experience. And it's a good story too.
