I Love a Piano, ta dum, I Love a Piano....

We got it! For once my piano deals didn't fall through, and we're now the proud owners of a (free) Baldwin Hamilton studio piano. Actually, I gave the lady $100 to lock it in and the mover $200 with the tip. But they had to hoist it down a long flight of stairs, and it was a behemoth to handle. All went well, though. We pulled out with it ten minutes ahead of the next buyer. The day before, I had been "the next buyer" and lost out on a really great deal of $400 on a Yamaha console, but this time it worked out. I tuned it and we've cleaned it up, and it sounds great. Considering the Wilma damage to the apt. where we got it, it held up really well. Barb's got some pix of us and our new "baby" on her latest blog, Iris Blue. Okay, enough bragging, but we're happy. Back to the world's problems.
