We visited an upscale piano retailer today and a wonderful salesman allowed us into the back room to play the 9'+ Bosendorfer Imperial, Blunther, and Steingraber grand pianos. Out of all of them, both Aaron and my favorite was the Model 225 Bosendorfer, which is around 7.5 feet. I think I'd want it in the Strauss ebony finish with the interior rim done in Bird's Eye Maple or something comparable.| Joshua Kennon
From the time I was a kid and had only a few thousand dollars in the bank, I have wanted a Bosendorfer Strauss model grand piano, probably in a 7 foot size (which is comparable to a Steinway & Sons Model B semi-concert grand). Yet, the list price is $111,080 plus you'd be looking at sales tax of roughly $8,331 for a grand total of $119,411. The time value of money opportunity cost of buying a Bosendorfer Strauss grand piano, then is enormous.| Joshua Kennon
After a long wait, I finally bought the Theodore Alexander Althorp Grand Staircase Secretary desk that I've wanted for a dozen years.| Joshua Kennon
