I beg to differ. Althought I am no expert (an expert is someone over 50 miles
from home with a briefcase) I have seen quite a few of these offered for sale
over the years and a good unrestored Steinway in an art case with a complete
Duo-Art mechanism will easily sell between $10000 and $18000. The asking
price is certainly not off by an order of magnitude.
