I have an unrepairable 1930s or so Beale upright piano. Its going out in the next Council throw out UNLESS -

(1) Anyone needs a piano prop to demolish/explode/drop/set on fire in their next video clip

(2) Anyone can use the ivory and ebony keys (they are in reasonable nick) - I feel for the poor elephant and don't want him/her to end up in landfill.

(3) Any woodworkers out there want some lovely old wood - like about a hundred kilos of the stuff.

I would stress that this beast is not playable or repairable, so don't think along those lines.

Its all free for collection from Cherrybrook, NW Sydney if you want, give me a PM or post here if interested.

Yes indeed, it has a very muddy low end and becomes total mush in a mix.

Errr, did I say that aloud? Only jokin', fellas.

Shipping I can do for about $10K. I'll need payment in advance.

Barney, I think it does actually come with vintage Vovo crumbs - there's certainly some unidentified lumps in the layer of stuff that once was felt. However, if I have to check that out, the price may well go up.

Oh, and yes, it does have a certain Unserviceable - Sounds Broken connection to it.
