Upright piano

The piano player in one of Dale's bands inherited a baby grand piano and needed a home for his upright. We volunteered! It is a beautiful thing. It is larger than we pictured... it makes our electronic piano look (and sound) like a toy. Inserting it into our living room has caused a cascade of change; move the furniture, accept that some of it simply doesn't fit, rearrange other rooms to accommodate, realize that new lamps are needed here and new shelves there, that kind of thing. But we have now officially welcomed it into our home and are starting to enjoy it.

Moving it in was surprisingly straightforward. The movers had long ramps and a wheeled cart and that was pretty much that. The thing weighs 650 pounds.
