[pianotech] Item found inside pianos

[Paul T Williams]

I found a buffalo nickle and a Canadiian penny from 1901 from a "free 
piano" I got.  It about paid for the free pizza and beer to the fellows I 
got to get the piano out of the house! ha, Not really, I've still the 
coins, but they might be worth something. I keep funny things i find, if 
they're worth anything.  These probably are worth just a few bucks.  They 
had been there for a very long time.

[pianotech] Item found inside pianos



Yesterday I pulled the stack out of an old Playotone player ready for 
tuning and discovered a single diamond resting on the keyboard. The lady 
of the house came into the room and I asked her to hold out her hand. I 
then placed the gem into her hand, and the tears began to fall. She had 
lost the diamond out of her engagement ring two years before, and had no 
idea where it had gone. One happy customer I can tell you.
On another occasion I discovered a sapphire ring inside a grand which had 
been lost by 'Gran' who thought it had gone out with the garbage.
Has anyone else found interesting items when tuning?
