Your wife sounds cool. Mine said it looked "creepy."

Maryrose. What is with Irish Terrier avatar? I have two. The smartest dogs I've ever know. A bit high strung, perhaps.

1875 Steinway in original condition on ebay.

They are gorgeous. Very blond(e). Boys or girls?

(I hope we don't get told off for this not being about pianos!)

OT:

The thing next to the piano in the pic you posted above is a square grand on its side.

That's what I thought. I've never seen one with that kind of inlay work on the case.

I'd sure like to see how it looks set up.

I was 14 when I used my paper route money to buy my first piano. $45.00 it was, + the cost of a U-Haul to get it home.

If that's not the same piano it's another just like it. Same grisly gold "antique" finish, same legs.

Thanks for posting it!

I guess it hasn't sold yet. They posted more pictures:

Any takers?

Fourteen! You have us beat. Ten seems to be our limit. We've had about ten for the last thirty years.

Steve, I have a spin-up chair like the one in the picture. It's going out at our garage sale this weekend for $5. It needs the hardware tightened up, and the screw shimmed to make the seat level. It's a modern repro, certainly not an original -- the clawfoot feet are one-piece cast, not holding glass balls as an original would be.

But if you want it, I'll pull it back in the house... you just have to figure out how to get it.

Oh, and it isn't painted "diaper-contents" yellow.
