People's marketing skills never cease to amaze me! It's the perfect piano for playing "Both Sides Now"!

Honestly, that kinda gave me chills. Just seems like he's two steps from being cuckoo :P Also, IDK if this classic's ever been posted before: http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/nyc/1598225097.htmlSlightly risqué, if you were raised Cleaver household.

That is one hefty tuning fee - I'd be happy to apprentice with THAT tech . . .

I wouldn't call this funny, except that someone actually expects to sell this for money: http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/msg/4021705830.htmlIt looks to have been in a fire!

I've seen the white walls of a family of heavy chain smokers turn a dark brown in only a few months.

What's in that piano isn't tar, it's soot. No wonder there were no interior shots with the lid up.

It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.

Right Marty, and the soot or else water sprayed to put out the fire causes heavy rust on the strings.
A fire damaged piano can still have its finish in fine shape! Buyer beware...
I forgot to mention that a Samick SIG-50 is 15 years old tops and of course the piano is too new to ever look like that!

Maybe he knew the lady who stored her little grand in a flimsy, airy aluminum shed in her back yard. (Sure enough, somewhere under all of that mold and oxidation there was a piano.)

I do believe that piano was built by Snapp, Snow & Pods. The factory is located somewhere in a valley. They are considered a giant in the industry.

I think the year of manufacture is a little suspect, too.
