old pianos are no insulation against redneckery by gzt (2.00 / 0) #1 Sat Dec 02, 2006 at 04:12:58 PM EST
i mean, the old baby grand we have [i think it might be older than yrs, actually] is a relic from the old family farm in nebraska. but then it isn't a steinway [though it was good enough to be worth renovating]. i forget the brand. but so: i think the tiebreaker will be what you drank after moving it. ie, was it a redneck drink or a blueblood drink?



dude, check the calendar by nathan (2.00 / 0) #2 Sat Dec 02, 2006 at 06:28:26 PM EST
It was a blueblood drink, I guess, if soy milk counts. It's not the old piano, it's the fact that I moved it 350 miles in a pickup truck, next to my gun rack and my sister who's married to her father, etc etc etc.

like i said, pickup plus piano makes it a tossup. and i am, alas, laboring under the slavic delusion that beer is water.

1889 Steinway 129 miles by Alan Crowe (2.00 / 0) #5 Sun Dec 03, 2006 at 04:08:09 PM EST
I bought my Steinway second hand in Aberdeen, and had removal men move it to Edinburgh for me. I live in a first floor flat so moving it myself wasn't an option.
