Where the Pianos Go and the Old Boxed Trade
A historical look at what happens to old pianos traded in for new instruments. Dealers often repair and rebox retired pianos and ship them abroad to markets in South America Africa and Asia where they are sold for small down payments and long monthly terms. The cycle recoups the original price plus repair boxing and shipping costs with interest, keeping the dealer in the business. Also quoted are aphorisms from Harper's Weekly and Ram's Horn emphasizing moral stances and social observations.
