a junky piano

[Farrell]

Have I missed something here? This is an old worn-out upright, right? Why
don't you just look for one closer to home that is not so worn out to buy
for a couple hundred dollars if you want one? Is there someplace that these
are not a dime-a-dozen? OR, consider spending $500 or so and get a little 15
year old console that is in great shape? Is this the objective - get a piano
for a very small price?
