3.0 out of 5 stars purchase price too high, July 29, 2004
This review is from: The Lazy Man's Guide to Purchasing an Acoustic Piano (Paperback)
While there is some valuable information in this slim book, for a few dollars more, one can purchase Larry Fine's The Piano Book, which has far more detailed in information.
