𝗦𝘁. 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀 𝗫𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 is looking for an 𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐩𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 to replace our current instrument (see photo), which has had many years of daily use in a classroom accompanying vocal and instrumental music.
An "acoustic studio piano" is an upright mechanical action piano with supports under the front legs, with casters to move it where it's needed. The parts & labor needed to refurbish the key & hammer action will likely cost much more than replacing the piano with a used studio piano in very good to excellent working condition, as it will get much daily use over many more years.
Please call 563-875-7376 if you have one to donate or sell. Thank you!
