At that price, I might be interested if it were nearby. I know several people who could be the monkey!

Maybe Chris is a herpetologist or he is Sylvester in another life.

Not a piano, but a funny listing indicating the seller at least has some goal.... http://hartford.craigslist.org/bik/3638762355.html

Not quite sure this is funny, but full marks for creativity I guess... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/msg/3650688050.html "The Company Of People Who Built This Piano Had to Know God." "It Has No Serial Number Because It Was Built Before The People Decided To Use Serial Numbers." "This Piano Is Not Getting New Strings and Hammers. That is Not Always a Good Idea! Chickering Had Their Own Piano Science." I can't decide if I'm horrified or in awe. Maybe there are people in LA with the proper $$ to braincell ratio to buy a minimally refurbished 130 year old Chicago Chickering upright for $8000. Rob

Electricity was invented ???
Methinks the chickering drug and accessory company has come into play. I doubt it has anything to do with the piano!

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

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
