Am Begging!

[Whoa_Nelly]

Would some kind person please buy this for me and have it shipped just out of the goodness of their heart?

Please? Pretty please?

It's Steinway. An UPRIGHT Steinway!

And I really need a Steinway! Uh-huh. Indeed I do.

Kisses ahead if time!!

1. Well, if I could, I would, just to hear you play again.

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. I would practice and practice

just for you, dearheart Ptah!

11. If only I had won that lottery... What a fantastic piano! I've never seen anything like it.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to know someone who could really play well and provide them with that extraordinary instrument?

My father played the violin, not well, but frequently. He started at age 4. My mother played the piano.

I inherited no natural musical talent. Dad once let me hold a Stradavarius (butchered spelling, sorry) his teacher had. I was scared I'd drop it.

I turned out to be a passive musician -- I love music, but can't play it.

But I digress. I am to this day a profound student of the baby xylophone. My repetoire is: "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" - and also "Baa-baa black sheep" as well as "The alphabet song."




Do you get the joke? They all have the same melody but different words.

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. Why, that thar shore do look like the Tucson train station!

Am I right?

[Ptah]

13. Nope, Bakersfield, eleven months ago.

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Damn!

Bakersfield was my second guess!! :rofl:

16. I can't get this image out of my mind.

I love hand craftsmanship!

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Am with you on that!

Ans the veneers are gorgeous!

[Ptah]

19. I must admit to a certain level of crass.

I was thinking Bette Midler.



Not quite the Jenis, but what can a guy do?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

2. OMG that's gorgeous.

I'm buyin' it, but not for you!

Look at that WOODWORK! And I'll bet it even sounds good, for a plinker.

:evilgrin:

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. Oh I now officially love you!

Did you read about it?

It's in a wonderfully preserved consition!

The price alone is way low for a pice like this!
It's out of an antiques piano store.

Not only was this 1875 Steinway #32911 made with the most beautiful burl walnut, it was also done in a raised panel design that makes the effect even more spectacular. This is the only one with the raised panel motif that I have ever seen or heard about, and I suspect that this piano may have been specially ordered because of this extra decoration. How this piano survived in such pristine condition is amazing, although leaving it alone probably was the most important factor.
snip
The photos of the piano show it when it arrived at my shop and it had never been refinished. It still hasn’t been refinished because it doesn’t need it, although it was professionally cleaned and polished since the photos were taken. I have never seen another piano that was preserved so perfectly. The piano also comes with its original seat or bench, and it is a masterpiece of Victorian design also. I have put some different color silks behind the open fretwork panels to give you an idea of what it can look like.
snip
I want to add that in one of the pictures, there appears to be a piece of the Piano missing; rest assured that the original piece has been glued back, and the piano is perfect.



And he goes on about the mechanics and it has NEW STRINGS!

I know pianos.
This one is breakin' my heart!

[AlCzervik]
