Earlier this week a Sister from our Ward called and asked if we wanted a piano that she didn't want anymore. I said, "yes" without thinking about it and told her that I would come and get it on Saturday. I got to thinking after I agreed to take it from her that maybe it was in really bad shape or wouldn't hold a tune or something like that and started to have second thoughts. I called a few friends from the ward to go with me to pick it up, thanks Rob and Ben, without their help it never would have made it in the truck. It was much larger and heavier than I thought it would be. After getting it home and in place we were excited to see that it wasn't in that bad of shape and that it isn't that bad out of tune. Well we are now the owners of a piano that we are really enjoying. It is a C. Kurtzmann & Co Makers Buffalo. N.Y. and the only date that I can find on it is 1960. Now Ashlee can learn how to play and we can teach our boys to play as well.Monday, April 21, 2008

That is so awesome! Everyone deserves a piano. Ours gets used almost every minute that Russell is home/awake. Congratulations.

Yay! That's awesome! We are looking for a piano! Man, I wish someone would call us and say, "hey, would you like one?" :) That's nice!!!! I REALLY miss having a piano to play and can't wait to get one. :)
I have later learned that the date I found was the last date it was tuned but that it is actually nearing 100 years old now. In 2015 it will have reached 100 years.
