Look What I Got!

See my new baby? I've been wanting a piano of my own ever since I moved out of my parent's house, but being such a big ticket item, it's stayed at the bottom of the priority list for a long time. Well I check Craigslist periodically to look for good deals on pianos and last Sunday I found this one in Lewisville listed for $200!!! So I went and played it and for $200, it's a STEAL. It's a vintage Wurlitzer Spinet. A few of the ivories need to be replaced, it has some nicks and scratches but other than that it's in great condition. And it hasn't been tuned in 1 1/2 years and it's still relatively in tune, which is a great sign. Brian grabbed a couple of guys (thanks Danny, Mark and Eric) and rented a trailor for $35 and moved it with no problem. Get it tuned and we've spent $300 on a fabulous paino. Sweet!

I've been waiting for pics of your new baby, it's NICE! I love that it's black and not that maple color most pianos are. It looks mor expensive that way! I'm sure Abby loves it too!

It looks just like you said when I talked to you before you bought it. I think it was a great deal and I am anxious to play it. Where did you put it? Is Abby fascinated or do you have it chained up? I will have to come see it really soon.
