68/365 Piano

Be sure to show us the character that age can give a subject.

I used to play the piano a lot when I was young and I miss it. I would really like to play again and be able to teach Alyssa but it is an expense that we can't afford at this time. So when we found this house and the owners said they were going to leave the piano behind, I was like, "Sweeeeeeeeeetttttt!!!!" And then I played it. Uggh! So out of tune. I dug deep into the history of this brand and model, hoping that I could still get it tuned up. I opened the top to check the inside of the piano and I found a year --- 1961. 50 years old. Wow. I did some online research and found out that the manufacturer, Wurlitzer & Company, had stopped manufacturing in the 1980s and was bought by Baldwin Piano Company. Hmmm, there's hope. But then again, it's not ours. Should we shoulder the expense? Maybe not. So I will have to put that off for now.
