Found at the thrift store today. $200. Hobart M. Cable. Insides have had some work and needs more. We have no room for it and shipping it halfway across the country won't be cheap.

Still, it's just like the one that started my piano journey. Sharon loves it.

I'll forever regret not buying it. It's beautiful.

Yowza! That grain is stunning.

Even if it weren't in playing condition, it would be a good candidate for this: http://pianodesk.com/blog/piano-desks

I owned one very similar to that - 1914 Cable

Played great and sold it to a friend with an old house. Now they are moving out of state and looking to sell it to someone else!

I do like those piano desks, but I hope it's bought by someone who wants to *play* it!

Is the piano close to where OT live? Maybe he can rescue it...

It's 1.5 hours away.

Good idea! Let me see if I can find his email address.

About 5 hr drive...

They aren't moving for 9-12 months, so there's plenty of time yet!
