After being posted for 4 months on Craig’s List, our grand piano finally sold today.  The market for large pianos has really collapsed in recent years. Even so, we got one-third of the price we paid nearly 25 years ago.  Not bad.  The buyers drove up from Mystic, CT, and were joined here by a piano technician they hired.  He did a thorough inspection before declaring the piano “as good as new”.  Pictured above is the entire keyboard assembly removed from the piano for closer scrutiny.  Jeanine and I were very sad it will not be here for Nico to play, something we look forward to every time he visits.  Professional piano movers will arrive next week to pack it up and ship it to its new home.
