Adoption in the Old Piano Universe

Today’s good deed was my hands on effort to place a gorgeous sounding old upright in a deserving home.

And judging by the attention this Emerson vintage piano eventually received after I played it for well past an hour at a Berkeley thrift store, there may be hope that an old veteran like this, can upstage a digital newcomer.

Going for just $75, this seasoned senior is resonant and easy to the touch.

Take a listen. and you’ll know instantly it’s a musical treasure.
