First – Thanks to Allen, Allen, Tyson, and Aaron.
Now the news!
A couple weeks ago we got a used piano from freecycle. In case you don’t know… Freecycle is a mailing list where people list things they have to offer for free – the idea is to keep things with some life left in them out of our landfills. The concept is great… larger metropolitan areas will have a list for their area. Anyways, Katie and I had talked about getting a piano for our house, and after a couple weeks one was listed on freecycle.

The piano is an early 20th century Ivers & Pond mahogany full upright. Some marks on the wood, and missing a couple ivory key tops… but what can you expect for a piano nearly 100 years old.
It is a monster… very big and heavy – but has a good sound to it. We do need to get it tuned some time.

Anyone know where I can get a tuning lever for a piano?
