Damn. We’re old. I haven’t heard that in like forty years.
Yeah, probably. My high school girlfriend liked them. 50th reunion is next summer. Jeez.

Wow. Pre Yamaha I assume? They’re rare here in the states. But wow.

It’s from 1936, almost beyond price, it and a Steinway Grand and the Organ came with the house!
same brand, MIJ, aluminum finger board...
Whose house?
As a guy who as a kid played piano for years, I’m fascinated. My guitar player buddy’s sister bought a new Steinway in ‘74 for 10k. Imagine what it’s worth now. That Austrian gem is priceless.
I will be getting back into piano once I’m sorted on bass and guitar. Now that I’m concentrating on reading bass notation, I’m shocked that it’s coming back faster than I ever hoped. It’s been fits and starts until now that I’m retired.
Retirement is highly recommended. Just sayin’.

Will it fit in your basement? It could fit in mine. Like that will never happen.
Was on Grandfather duty with a sick grandson the other day. Found an unexpected Thunderbird sighting!
Tsehay on bass. I know she isn’t playing it in the clip, but I think (correct me if wrong) that she looks like she might be able to play bass if needed.
She has had a bit of a life, Australians adopted her from Eithiopea as a baby, grew up in a small town about 1/2 hr south of where I am. Has been a Champion in Salsa Dance, joined the Wiggles at age 16 (19 now) and plays a few instruments I think.

someone really liked their pianos...totally dig places like that, thx for sharing.
Test fit looks like I hoped... just "Y-like" enough to be semi-trad, but different.
I like. And light!
Balance point for the whole necķ, all hardware in place except the rod cover I haven't made yet, is right at the 4th fretline.

I once knew a piano. She was grand.
The one I used to hang around with was pretty upright. Which is odd, for someone who lived in a honkytonk.
