Maybe not. I have tuned one like that, with a single repetition action. Not a very distinguished instrument!

Do any of you belong to freecycle.org? They sometimes give away pianos there. I'm checking out a player tomorrow. I don't have high hopes for it! www.freecycle.org

Also not particularly funny, except for how hard I'm trying to ignore this ad so another piano doesn't follow me home  The lack of pictures just makes it more tantalizing, since you can pretend it could be amazing instead of the basket case it probably is. 6'8" Broadwood & Sons $200

This is pretty interesting---it's a "flat style" piano. I guess as opposed to a hilly style?? http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/msg/3671986249.html

This ad isn't funny except of the price. $30,000 for an old nondescript upright. Yikes! http://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/3675074443.html

Here's a piano that plays recognizable music, it's just sort of out of tune. But it is cheap! http://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/3673987224.html

"You could play it and deff tell what song it is but if you have any musical sense you could tell some keys are a little off. Just make me am offer." This kind of thinking is right on the money why so many people rarely get their piano tuned. If you can still recognise the music, then it's still in tune!

If you have any musical sense, you probably would not be buying a Whitney spinet.

The 52 keyed Kawais are able to do a key stand to attain the 5'4" tall measurement. Or, it will be purchased by an NBA'er.

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

Wow.
How many are tempted to call him just to tell him what his spinet is really worth?
