I grew up playing piano. Started taking lessons at age 5. I quit taking lessons when I was 12 but I still played all through my teen years until my parents divorced and the piano got sold. Now I wasnt gifted or anything but it was fun for me.
Over the years we tried to get me one of those electric keyboards but it isnt the same. I just cant get used to them and I just dont like the sounds. I have looked on freecycle for free ones but so far nothing in my area. Maybe one day. And I do keep looking on craigslist too. I would love to get back to playing. This is another of those things that Tony doesnt understand though. He thinks its dumb because I havent done it since I was a teen. That it isnt a real hobby. We tend to have arguments over hobbies. His are "good" mine are stupid. Sigh.

Tell Tony ya need it for the grandkids, Janet. Where else are they going to get exposed to it?
And I totally agree... keyboard is NOT a piano. Piano is tactile, vibrant, alive.
KEEP LOOKING. Even if you have to pay a bit for it, its worth it... but first ya gotta convince Tony.
So... instead, drop a hint to J. and see if he can get his bros to go together with him and find one - it will take three of them to move it, anyway!

So did I...
I'm incredibly lucky... husband supports each one of us in our unique interests... and he really doesn't have any! He says his is to support ours... from rug-hooking to mechanics to music to dogs... to whatever else we dream up (if we can find a way to afford it)... he's behind us all the way.
BUT - I know from others that this is RARE.
