Just to clarify, for those who haven't jumped in yet, the Group Buy 
for the Old Lady has expired, but it is still available at $80US if 
you purchase both Old Lady and the Emperor. I just got my OL 
yesterday, and she sounds fantastic!

I also didn't know about the Yamaha Grand that came with my L7. 
I have a Yamaha C3 at home, and I've always considered Yamaha 
to be a good, reliable, but ultimately kind of bland piano, the 
baseline against which other pianos may be judged, yet devoid of 
its own personality. I tried the L7 Yamaha side by side with the 
Old Lady, and my opinion still stands. The Yamaha is fine if you 
want fine. The Old Lady has depth and warmth and personality - I 
can smell the wood! 

The Yamaha is pure distilled water, and the Old Lady is a fine 
aged wine. I can hardly wait to take delivery on my Emperor, 
which I'm expecting to be a zesty Shiraz judging from the demos.
