[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 303068, member: 439"] I have drug my piano around with me my whole life. My parents bought it used when I was 5 because they didn't know if I would stick with it. Back then, finding a teacher was really hard - I had to "prove" I could read well enough. I still remember when we picked it up (dad borrowed a truck from work) - the family was having a grand delivered because their son had been accepted at the conservatory. The house was an old farm house and to get the grand in, they had taken the front window out of the house! My piano is a Wurlitzer "apartment" spinet. It only has 73 keys, instead of 88. It does have it's limitations on some classical songs, but it usually is just fine. Wurlitzer only made this model for about 2 or 3 years around 1955. Every time I get a mover (I've only used a piano mover to do so) they say if I ever want to sell it, let them know, people are always looking for these. My parents paid $250 for it! Not bad for me having 46 years of usage out of it!!!! by the way - I can't stand keyboards. I've yet to find one that the keys aren't "mushy". Not having to pay a tuner is great, but I just don't like playing one. [/QUOTE]
