Just for fun, I sent the ebay seller the following question to see
if the seller was capable of communicating any shred of information
about the piano that might be of use to a potential buyer:<br>
<font size="+1"><big><big><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family:
arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<b><big>Serial#/year? Who rebuilt it and when? New pinblock
and soundboard, or original? Keytops plastic or ivory
restoration? Lacquer, polyester, or ? Is it walnut
veneer? Why no photos of the action?</big></b></font><b><br>
</b></big></big></font><br>
<br>
The seller's response, which answered nothing:<br>
<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color:
rgb(0, 0, 0);" color="#993300">"eMail address? Will send you some
if you;re serious.</font><font color="#993300">"</font><br>
<br>
(Send me some <i>what</i>? Some of what you're smoking?)<br>
<br>
Followed by this message, which was so bizarre I just had to post it
here. :<br>
<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color:
rgb(0, 0, 0);">"Well, folks, the drinks are on YOU. Mine's
Champagne and Cogtails at The Ritz and you are paying. Don't all
bid at once there'll be acheaper one the YOU can entertain US
GIRLS!! (The exit's near enuf just don't try so hard - like
Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.... Ok! So WHY you want a
btter piano than you got? Can't you PLAY it?<br>
<br>
The last piano like this I saw sold for fourteen thousand or
something in Harrods. Or was one of yours you play. But people ask
you like to play their pianos? OK - not £140 when they cannot sell
them. Or £12,999? Better!! and not Steinway up to £275,000.
Consider the following which is below - I start the auction
speaking to you as a brother, a sister - that's better than
expecting US TO LISTEN TO you ISN;T IT.<br>
<br>
Talent aside - remember I am doing this for nothing - and you are
doing it for less - Irrespective of whether I happen to play the
piano or not, I mean, who can tour the Country to play Liberace's
piano if you don't know how it's been maintained? Despite all
their flowery words their "touch" their "responsive" piano,
question is: WHY isn't it "responding" (their piano) to THEM?
Well, they are expecting it to respond to YOU. And I am sorry to
say this girl thinks you f(or some others?!) fall for it every
time if it's on the straight bid. Mine you see is FAIR. So, it
costs. WHAT? Blind faith if you don't happen to play or not very
well. Hear MINE in my film below there is no mistake it is better
in some ways than LIBERACE'S i mean my fathe only played for HIS
funeral.</font>"<br>
