Time for a NEW PIANO!

The time has come! The old piano was supposed to have been free! No one wants to play it. The key tops are chipped, or missing, the sound is like finger nails on a chalk board, the rings on the lid where the plant sat, or the coffee cup, can only be covered up by doilies or napkins. What happened to the great piece of furniture we thought we had? Should we invest in fixing it up? The tuner won't come any more. He says it is hopeless. What to do? Our kids should be playing piano!

The science is clear: Kids who are learning musical instruments do better in school. In fact, science says that their IQ goes up when they spend time learning to play (or sing) music. We are willing to invest in lessons. All our friends have their kids in band or chorus, or learning musical instruments. And here sits this old piano that no one will play. 

It's no wonder! A nice piano sounds great, looks great, feels great, and gives rewards every day! Imagine giving your 16 year old daughter a 60 year old car to drive. "Let's see if she likes it first before we get her a good one." No, that won't do! She needs something safe, something that works. And, by the way, if you want to make points with her, it should look good, too! 

Like cars, pianos don't get better with age. Like an old house, they will need more maintenance as they get older. They do well when they have steady environments, steady humidity. A really nice piano will last a lifetime, although after 20 or 30 years things like new hammers, or a regulation become necessary. Cheap pianos are just like cheap anything. They last a while, and then become more trouble than they are worth. And no one wants to play a piano with sticky keys, doesn't hold tune, and sounds like mud. 

I know a solution! And it is one that you won't regret!
