Three Player Pianos For Sale, in N. Florida
By David Campbell
all three pianos located Gainesville, north-central Florida, USA
one: Shaw (of Baltimore) serial #26018, made (supposedly) in 1913.
present location: Mac computer room
two: Webster (of New York) serial #22830, made (yr unknown-1925 or
thereabouts) present location: in my garage
three: Schaeffer (of Chicago) serial #60134, made (yr unknown-1925 or
thereabouts) present location: right rear corner, my Alachua shop
(Alachua is the next town north of Gainesville)
and
a late Victorian era "Orchestral Grand" upright _non_ player piano. Made by Richards and Co, New York, serial number 11227. This piano is in a "semi-elaborate" carved case, though NOT extensively hand carved or of any rare "exotic" wood type. Wood type unknown (assume to be veneered something/is heavily painted flat black and then "spatter painted" white over that, as was the suburban "fashion" at that time). Has original ivories as well, and is "all there". Other than the (somewhat bizarre) paintwork, this piano appears to never have been "clobbered" by amateurs. Present location: Alachua shop
Note, all four of these pianos are located in or within 15 miles of Gainesville, north central Florida, _very_ near I-75, which is the major north/south Interstate highway route through Florida....
will sell any (or all) of pianos listed above for cash, _or_ trade them for Mac computer stuff, bigger monitor, nice printer, a new(er) CPU, or Chinese rug(s), old sports car(s), woodworking machinery, new mechanic's rollaway toolboxes, or, well, whatever doesn't eat, smell, or make noise... I'm "pretty dern flexible"...
have small electric forklift at "my end", so lifting & loading here present no particular problem...
Thank you,
David
