I happened upon this one around 9pm last night, so the pic quality is rotten. But I'll agree with some other posts here. The bass is amazing! Some black keys are slightly loose/stick, but its still a great little piano!

This is an absolutely beautiful piano inside and out! Every single inch front and back, top to bottom is painted save the coasters, and the kids did a marvelous job!
This piano as an astounding low end!! It may be reverb from the porch, but bass tones are full and rich, and it sounds great!! It's my favorite so far, for in tone and type in resembles my own as far as charachter
. I really think it could be a Mendellsohn, but I don't know. The "sound" is so familar to me. I sat down to play and it didn't take long before the music drew a crowd.
The piano has a meek double-strike going on at C above middle C and E above middle C. Nothing else majorly troublesome. All the keys operate, and all the keys are present and about correct.
I must emphasize that playing any kind of pedalpoint is really a dream on this piano and the location/setup atmosphere is great. It's literally front porch pickin' for piano. Everyone should try this one! It's far better then the one up the street in Silverton.
I asked the kids if there were any music students, and, finding a couple I showed them some of the parts I was playing so they could read along, too. We had a delightful time!
I entertained them with exerpts from:
Richard Wagner
Anton Bruckner
Ludwig von Beethoven
Franz Joseph Haydn
and
Ray Charles
and dashed off "Jingle Bells" by request. Why not? We had such an excited group!
Thanks, and I'll be back, no doubt!

I grew up in Kennedy Heights and took piano lessons from the Sisters who taught at Nativity School. I stopped lessons as a teenager but music was very important in our home. I entered the Sister of Mercy and in every convent we had a piano. Over the years I'd play for pleasure and in1991 began taking lessons again and enjoy playing for relaxation.
