I've been offered a piano for £10 with the ominous words 'it needs work'.
Apparantly it hasn't been played for...'a while'...and a couple of the keys don't work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) But, for a tenner, I've decided it can't hurt to take a looksee. I've found a repairer locally who's willing to look it over and give a free estimate on how much it will cost to get it playable so, hopefullly, I'll know soon. *fingers crossed* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jumpin.gif) |

Speaking as one who agreed to let a member of staff store a "£10 piano" at the office, can I recommend that you smell it inside before you take it home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ill.gif)
But I hope it will turn out OK! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks for the tip skylark. I should know either way by the end of today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fingersCrossed.gif) The suspense is the worst part.

Pian, pian, pian-O, pian-O, PIANO!
Well, the verdict is in… Total cost for minor repairs + transport to its new home = less than £100 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Needs a bit of a clean up, not to mention tuning, but I can worry about that later. The repairer seemed surprised that it was in such good condition. Apparently he’d been expecting something a lot worse from the description. Oh, and no ‘smell problems’ to speak of either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) So one, very happy, soon to be piano owner here.
