Hi there, may be interested in this, could you please give more info regarding condition? Thanks :)

Gill2009 says 30/09/2009 8:02 pm (2 years ago):

Hi, it looks in good condition but as I dont play I am not sure how much work it needs to be tuned. Its maple wood. There is slight damage to the side panel but you would n't notice it

cormie
cormie asked a question 30/09/2009 8:08 pm (2 years ago):

Just to expand on the above. If you could please report on the following I'd appreciate it.

When you open the top lid, can you see the hammers (soft white parts that hit the string) clearly, or is there a wooden beam above them covering from the far left to just beyond the middle? So wood or no wood?

Do the strings look like they are crossing over eachother or do they look as if they are just going vertically down? If you open the bottom of the piano you will see this much easier. So overstrung (crossing eachother) or straight strung?

Is there an iron frame and is it above the tuning pins?

How old is the piano?

What make?

Are all keys working?

Has it been played much?

Are pedals working?

If you could answer the above as best as possible it would be great and if it's suitable perhaps we can arrange something further.

Regards!

Hi there,
I live in Belmont BY Flannerys hotel.
I am starting a small budget recording studio at the moment.
I would love to have this piano and it would have a good home where it was guaranteed to be used regularly by many talented musicians.
It would be donating it to very musical cause indeed.

Hi is the piano still available, I would be very interested in taking it? I play the piano for the past 15 years and recently moved to Galway (Roscam area)as I will be living here for only a year I really did not want to buy one but I miss playing so much. Unfortunately I don't think that I would be able to organise transport, but I would pay a reasonable amount if you could arrange this.
I know others are in before me, but let me know if I can get the piano.
Thanks
