Got it for next to nothing after previous owner's ex-husband decided to give it an antique 'distressed' look with a logging chain on his way out the door. Nice work on the rim and lid. He said she gave more love and affection to her piano than she did to him. It now actually sounds better than it looks.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Rip Lowman - Tucson</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"> <DIV><FONT size=2>I have now heard it all.  A guy just called me and said he and his wife got a divorce.  Must have been an ugly one because she cracked three raw eggs in their Yamaha upright!  I’m guessing the eggs have been there for a while because the house is currently vacant.
