Its Friday afternoon....
Post by PianoFifty »
.... and I'm bored, and fed up with my piano so I'm offering it for sale:
Grand piano for sale. Make is Steinbechendorfer, a subsidiary of Bryant & May - more than a match for a C3 or RX3, with a striking appearance and sound. This fine instrument was used by the well-known comedy musical duo Everard and Snipcock in their hilarious music hall routines in the 1930's.
In need of some cosmetic attention, but basically sound. Double overstrung, underfelted with damp-proof course. Schneitzler action with triple overlocking trundle pinions. Brass hitching capstans fitted on the wrestling plank.
Beautifully preserved casework, with fully shanked and fluted niblet scrolls. Elegant candelabra adorn the superbly crafted music desk. Candles not included, though Mr Price may be able to supply some.
Individual tone - every note works and also produces a sound. Recently tuned, voiced and regulated (I did it myself with a pair of pliers and a hammer).
For the last 20 years this instrument has been owned by a little old lady with no arms who used it as a pot plant stand.
Price fifty quid - buyer collects. Matching firewood stool thrown in (literally). Will also include my collection of sheet music and special interest magazines (hidden in a secret compartment inside the stool) for free.

I'll have it - I was getting a bit fed up with my Lindner Concert Grand (2'6"). You can keep the magazines, though...unless there's a picture of Barrie with a stick of rhubarb, of course...
