This funky little Yamaha is my new piano. It's made of walnut wood and is in pretty good shape overall. It's from the mid 1980s and I've been looking for a piano every day for 3 months! Not just any cheap piano. I was picky and wanted a better quality piano, but not an expensive one because I have a budget! This was advertised for $800 in Washington. I had missed a beautiful Baldwin piano in Vegas but I just couldn't get down there because kids were sick and Merril was out of town. I couldn't figure how I'd get it from Vegas anyway so we missed.
The littles and I drove to Washington to check out this piano. I wasn't going to miss out on it. We popped off panels and played the keys. I said I'd think about it and left. I called Merril and decided to get it. I knew that even if it's not my forever piano, it's a good deal because it's a Yamaha. I called the owner back and said I'd get it. Merril went to pick it up and the guy said he liked my little family so much that he only charged $700. Sweet! The bench that came with it was an organ bench so I have a new one ordered and on the way.
I think it's kind of goofy looking and might add front legs to it at some point. I think it looks like it would fall over but it's SO heavy that it's not going anywhere! It sounds nice and feels nice so that's what's important.
Update: We waited a week and had it tuned and cleaned. The tuner said it was in really good shape inside, we got a great deal and it should give us years of music. Yay!
