This piano has had two owners during the last 60 years.
I purchased this piano from a gentleman who played the piano for a living. He owned it for 30 plus years.
My intentions were for my young children to take piano lessons and play beautifully as adults.  ☺️
They did take lessons, but no longer play.
I have owned it for 30 years.
It has been played and lovingly taken care of for many years.
