    I wonder why they even dedicated floor space to this. If I’m spending an obscene amount of money on a piano, it’s a surrogate penis to wag at guests. Bosendorfer is prestigious in the piano world but I can’t think of a time I’ve noticed it on a piano even though I’ve watched thousands of performances. Steinways can be bought at half this price and any random schmuck walking into your house knows the name. With this you’d have to explain that you spent $180k on a piano that isn’t a Steinway for it to be impressive to a non-pianist. Otherwise a concert pianist isn’t going to buy this at Costco. Music stores will at least set it up and tune it.
