There is no
set formula for discounts. Some of the highest priced
instruments command the highest prices because they are
the very best available and are priced high because of
increased costs to make them. The biggest discounts are
not on the most expensive pianos, the biggest discounts
are on the oldest inventory - that cost the dealer less,
usually purchased before the most recent price increases,
they are the most "shopworn", and generally
speaking, old inventory is usually worth less.
