Piano

About 4 weeks ago, a friend called me up announcing a free piano on the side of the road close to our apartment. I walked over to see it, and called JT to help me load it into the car. It was sitting in our apartment for the last month waiting for the piano tuner to come. He wanted the piano to become acclimated to its new environment, so it would hold a tune better. He finally came today, and the piano is finally playable. He had to tune it to itself, which means it will sound okay to play, but won't sound good with a recording and won't work to tune instruments. I choose this option because the tuning nobs are loose, and it would be more money than I want to spend on an old piano to permanently tighten them. If we end up keeping the piano for more than a year, I will think about it. For now, I am ecstatic to have a piano to play.
