Seems a shame to see such an musical icon go through hard times. I’ve often thought about turning my internet marketing skills to piano sales. If anyone at Boesendorfer is reading this and wants some free internet marketing consulting, they should call me. I’ve got a ton of ideas
It must be tough with what is a pretty exclusive instrument. Yes it’s a great shame, to think that an iconic piano maker could become extinct.
Hopefully it won’t come to that. I guess in general acoustic piano sales are down, because many people don’t have the money, space or desire to play.
