This old piano

Many years ago, when we lived in town and when our children were very young, they started piano lessons. 30 minutes a lesson, once a week. I sat through each lesson with each child, watching and admiring the patience of the piano teacher we had been blessed to meet. She had angel wings on her back!

We purchased this old piano for them to practice on.Our home filled with the plunked out sounds of twinkle, twinkle, little star. Amazingly, it has a wonderful sound and is still in good condition, despite it's bad appearance. It has just come out of storage and we finally have been able to move it into our home out here. We have a steep front porch and at the time of our moving here, there was no way to move it. It has been sitting underneath a layer of blankets in our storage building. How much I have wanted it inside of our home!

This is stamped on the back, apparently the price back at that time. On the inside there is a label, that explains that it is also a player piano. There is no element to make it play, so it has just been used as a standard piano.

I gave it a good scrubbing and finally it is sitting where it belongs! It looks like it has always been here! I still need to re-do the surface and the surface of the piano bench, but once again, music from this wonderful piece can be heard through out our home. The kids, now pretty much grown, have all sat down and played a little tune on it already, scaring our cats out the door{:
