Free Chickering quarter grand

Aound here (central Iowa), Quarter Grands seem to be the Ford F150s of the
piano world -- they're ubiquitous and they keep chugging along.

Of course, I undoubtedly see a lot of them because Maurice Roseburrough
rebuilt a lot of them during the '70s-'90s (and because they've stayed in
the Midwestern climate).  But their owners love them, and they're providing
good service.  And, of course, they don't cost a lot......

I bought one, cheap, from a local HS (case is a mess, and the soundboard is
covered in glitter, but MR had repinned/restrung/rebuilt it at some point),
and I'm sure it will prove to have been a good investment when I finally
sell it.  Right now, I'm having fun playing it.  I'd take another if it was
offered to me.
