    I spent a summer in college working in a piano store. It was totally empty 90% of the time, and my job consisted mostly of keeping it from burning down until people came in for piano lessons after school.

    They were the local Bosendorfer dealer, so I had lots of time to play a full size concert grand all summer, the one with the 8 extra low keys at the bottom. It was such a smooth playing instrument, that it nearly ruined me for all other pianos. After playing that Bosendoerfer, a mere $50,000 piano felt like a toy.
