Serendipity: : the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for (Merriam Webster)
Today on the way to K's violin lesson, we happened to notice a piano on the side of the road..... We were running a tight schedule and didn't have much time to stop, but I told the kidlets that we would check into it, if it was still there on the way home.
Sure enough, there it was... so with the help of some friends who will soon be our neighbours, we bought it home! Muchos Gracias to our future neighbours, we couldn't have pulled that off without you!
After playing around a little with it, we discovered that it has a good sound, and is a solid instrument. It needs a little love, (like three new hammer returns and a few new key veneers), but it's a fine beginner's piano.
What a fun find! I can't wait to get it cleaned up and tuned!
