There will be many more, better, pics of this piano to come!
Matt and I were not going to do gifts this year . However, I found a gift that served a triple threat:
November- Matt's Birthday
December- Christmas
January- Our Anniversary
I came across a family on craigslist who was giving away their piano. For free! Turns out this is a common practice because they can be hard to maintain and even harder to move. The family was so nice when I met them! And this beautiful instrument once belonged to a matriarch in their family. It had been tuned not too long ago. My hunt for a reputable, trusted company or person to move it was difficult but swift! I found a piano company that not only moved it for under $200, but they also are giving us a huge discount to get it tuned in a year! Wahoo!
I took my outdated MACbook and sold it to pay for the moving expenses. And now we have an awesome piano that Matt uses almost daily for work. (He is the music director at our church for those of you who don't know) And Cass loves to practice too :-)
I love this story - on how you found the piano and surprised Matt.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Cass will be a natural Liberace ;)
LOL! We shall see :-) Matt turned around and sold his keyboard to buy me a new zoom lens. I was so excited and surprised! I'm glad it did not turn out like that story about the man who sells his broken watch to buy hair combs for his wife and the wife who cut off her hair to buy a part to fix his watch!
