She was actually caught in the act by a member, when she forgot to switch logons as she assumed two different identities. Something about the tone of the conversation reminded me of her posts. She would actually have conversations- even arguments- with herself, to try to gin up attention for the make she represented. PianoMadam was a character, an employee of a large dealership, who used to post in this forum under several different screen identities. Perhaps the suspicion was unworthy, Theodore. Is this piano a good buy or should I keep searching for another one that is around 10k? However, money is a major concern for my parents. At 16.5k, I truly think Vogel's quality far surpasses its value. The reason for this ridiculously low price on the Vogel is because the piano store I visited is downsizing/having financial issues, therefore some of the pianos are priced below wholesale value.įor the past month I have done intensive research and have been monitoring pianos via craigslist and local piano stores, none have I seen a new piano or even an acceptable used piano go for this low.

With a few Petrof side-by-side with the Vogel, I had more control over the Vogel than the Petrof of the similar size. Just yesterday I felt in love with a new Vogel V177 (5'11' royal) by Schimmel which unfortunately goes for 16.5k. Coming form a non-musical family, my parents have little appreciation/knowledge about piano - its quality of sound and the control over a piano. My budget is around 10k, though 15k is forcefully acceptable, my parents are still very reluctant to spend this much. Recently I have been trying numerous grand pianos around my area, both used and new, and only very few pianos had appealed to me. My name is Jason and I am a full time student who comes home during school breaks.

How much is my schimmel piano worth
