Larry knows his pianos!
Customer Rating:
Once again, Larry Fine updates his extremely useful Piano Book. The basic information about pianos, piano makers, piano buying, etc. is all in "The Piano Book", and every couple of years he puts out a supplement. That way we can know what's improving and what to look out for. Thanks, Larry!

Very well written and complete. It includes the details that most of us not working in the piano field need in order to make a good decision.
The Piano Bood Supplement 2008-09
Customer Rating:
Great book if you are shopping for a Piano. It gives you a wealth of information regarding pianos, piano manufacturers and the whole industry. This is the supplement to The Piano Book - so it has the updates on manufacturer reviews (lots of changes in the last 5 years due to Asian manufacturing, company mergers, and ones that are no longer in bus).
