A concert Chickering&Sons grand...

on: October 01, 2017, 05:51:37 PM

Hi folks
I thought I would put out this ad here, too.
There is a fullsize 9ft well kept Chickering&Sons grand for sale in Sweden, priced at 2500$.

Is this yours, or are you just showing something you found? Because that price is absolutely unbelievable for a full size concert grand. At that price, I'd fully expect it to collapse into a pile of splinters as soon as you touched a single key.

Also, Google Translate seems to think that the Swedish word for "piano" means something to do with wings, planes, or flying. I'm curious if there's a reason for this. Obviously, I don't speak Swedish.
