I went to the storage place on a Friday afternoon after work to check it out with Miss Nzuji. Tina didn’t want the hassle of moving it, so the piano was then offered to me. Tina, the owner of the piano studio where I take lessons. She didn’t have room for it at her house, so Miss Nzuji offered it to Mrs. They offered the piano to Miss Nzuji, who rents a storage unit at the facility. Thankfully, they were from the generation of folks here in the US who were brought up with the mentality of “never throw anything away that could be useful someday”. The managers didn’t know anyone who wanted/needed a piano either.

They had been told repeatedly that a piano like this was worthless and no one would want it, even if it was free for the taking. Susan and Joe (the friendly couple who manage the storage facility) felt bad about possibly taking a chainsaw to the piano **shudder** and throwing it in the dumpster. The unit was sold, and the new owners took everything out of the unit they wanted….and ditched the piano again. The owners of the storage unit quit paying the rent, so the unit went to auction. Then a few weeks ago, Shamrockmom’s piano teacher Miss Nzuji found out about a piano that had been abandoned twice at a local storage facility. TBH, most of the large ‘vintage’ uprights I’ve seen pictured for sale on Craigslist in my area are in dubious condition:Īnd winter rain and wind approaching, a piano was totally out of the question in the immediate future.

I did not feel confident enough to consider a turn of the century “Golden Age” large upright piano, even though I knew they could sound wonderful, and I could probably get one for around $700-1000 USD. I’ve been saving my pennies toward a large upright for about a year, but it’s been a very slow project. My current Kawai digital piano is excellent for when I want to play early in the morning or late at night, and takes up minimal space, but the range between soft and loud is not what it is on a piano like the Petrof Grand I play on at the piano studio, and it’s been causing me struggle. It was fine to start playing on, but now I need a piano that has enough sensitivity that I can work on my volume control, and has a better tone. I was warned by more knowledgeable SLA Soompi forum members like and that the spinet size came with built in limitations to the sound quality, which I understood.

The abandoned Wurlitzer Spinet piano that I was given from the 100 year old apartment building my boss owns was a major upgrade from a 61 key Casio keyboard with spring action keys, which was what I started with in June of 2014. I knew next to nothing about pianos when I started playing two years ago, and I was exceedingly grateful to have anything with 88 keys that looked and sounded like a piano. Now I have a “Barn Find” piano, and I’m pretty darn stoked over it!

After restoration, these cars can be worth some substantial money, plus there’s the thrill of unearthing a hidden treasure. That’s because many rare and vintage vehicles were stored in old barns and outdoor sheds for years until they were found by someone interested in restoring the car to it’s former glory. I often joke that I really do speak another language–it’s called Car! In Car lingo, when you find a very old and valuable car in bad condition, it’s known as “Barn Find”. This piano comes with Northwest Pianos 5 year parts and labor warranty.My three readers know how much Shamrockmom and her family love cars.
