Craig's List deal...

"Do you know what we found on Craig's List?"

"We found this!"

I am not a fabulous piano player but I like to dabble. I'd like to get better but it's hard to improve without something to practice on. Some day I want to take actual lessons and land one of those cushy piano-playing callings. Merril and I have tossed around the idea of a digital piano for a while but were just waiting for the appropriate deal. On Craig's List yesterday, I saw this black digital piano for sale. I went over and looked at it. Two keys don't work and 2 keys down by the very bottom end have been melted (something about a candle Christmas decoration falling over on it.) When I called Merril to consult with him, he said he can probably fix broken keys. The melty ones play fine. So I bought it and paid $50!! It's nice looking, the key action is good, the bench is in really great shape, and the harpsichord button is a lot of fun. I actually prefer the sound of a harpsichord. But I've looked at harpsichords and they're rare and expensive. But I'm excited and the kids have been having tons of fun on it.

*P.S. Between the DVD recorder and the piano, I might not be getting anything for Christmas. Hee hee.*
