			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Gutting and converting an old grand piano! <br />That&#039;s one helluva lot of work for many people, not to mention the substantial weight if you wanted to shift it around to wedding gigs etc. </p><p>Also to do it well I bet it&#039;s much more expensive than getting an off the shelf solution like this.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Sorry, a miniature of a grand or even miniature of a baby grand still looks as silly as a stage piano, at least for shows or play on stage, if we imagine a grand piano sound as something majestic.</p><p>But for home I would say it&#039;s ok.</p><p>Anyway, for you folks from USA, Europe, with many old grand &amp; baby grands ruined being sold ultra cheap or even given away or junked, it&#039;s better to get one, remove the ruined strings and harp, and refurbish the wood body, add speakers, place the digital controller replacing the original piano action and voilá.</p><p>There was a video that made me nearly cry. A old imperial size concert grand being demolished by a giant iron sphere (demolish truck). <br /> Why not donate the wood body or donate to piano restorers, who could replace a unsavable soundboard for a new one, change strings, fix action etc.... It would loss originality, would no longer be a true Steinway od Bosendorfer, for example, but would still have good use for someone or some music school.</p>]]></content>
