Some piano people are so....................uh...!
Sometimes it kills me to even read piano ads or sometimes any ebay ad. People either know so little about what they have or they know too much. I guess this is true for most things in life. I love how they took a picture of the decal that refered to the Columbian Exposition. Which basically ment that the company took a piano for display. Just like when pianos had "offical piano of the New York Opera" decals on them which ment the opera house purchased a piano from them. And the 22 hits on Google most likely means the piano company was abscure and produced few pianos which most likely ment that they made crap and didn't stay in business because of their low quality and the pianos they made fell apart so quickly that all of them have long been consigned to the scrap heap. I guess what gets me most is they couldn't look at another upright piano auction and see that there were no other pianos of that type for anywhere near what they were thinking of asking. Or maybe to call a piano tech to see if maybe what they had was worth anything. I guess it all goes back to my grandmothers old saying "not dumb he who asks, but he who gives".
