I sold a zebra-striped Cable full upright like that one years ago...

Hey, why is that Chickering on the previous page floating in the clouds? "Heavenly music", perhaps?

Actually, I think it was tossed out of an overloaded cargo plane! Evil

Oh My Goddess! Is this beautiful or what?

This has a really weird name, which is giving the forum software fits. Copy and paste time:

I think it is a Chickering.

I have an old "tiger-oak" one (like that Price & Teeple) that I left in a house 30 years ago that the owners have now asked me to take back since I'm moving back to my old hometown. Which reminds me that I forgot to mention that to the piano mover today when I scheduled the two to go from here tomorrow... and reminds me that I hadn't even considered where to put it since I hadn't even yet figured out where to put number 2, much less number 3. (Hoping for inspiration when I walk in the door to meet them Friday.) And leaves me grateful I at least whittled it down to 2 here from 5. WhoMe)

I loved it. The front legs are a bit blumpfy, the cushions dull and the individual parts overdone, but as a whole - it works. Would have to go in a room with very little detail where everything matchhed some aspect of color, texture or design..But I like it. It MIGHT be repulsive close up.

I like Oriental carpets and ornamentation too. Haha! What a piano for playing ornamentals!

(I like the black lacquer touches)

Notice anything "unusual" about this beastie?


1949 Winter Spinet

(This was the first piano I did any significant work on.)

You gave it away by identifying the make of the instrument. I immediately looked for the Alluminum plate. Like Steve Van Natten says, an alluminum plate is like a makerel in the moonlight: Its shiny, ... ... and it stinks! Big Grin
