What's the phone # of Keyboard Carriage (Lexington KY?)?

Update on project Senda Piana to Havana:
Have collected  so far half-dozen mostly uprights in San Francisco.
Have located a dozen more in a Chicago warehouse, cheap.
Talked to a NYC  piano warehouse about another couple dozen.
Have collected donations from a few tuners as far away as Miami:
boxes of extra tools and parts.  Bought 200 lbs wire from Mapes.

These are sound pianos, needing only strings or hammers and finish.
They will be sent to Cuba this fall, with or without U.S. permission,
to be rebuilt there (wanna go help?) and distributed to schoolkids
suffering under the astonishingly cold-hearted, politically motivated
blockade we inflict on that country in the name of human rights.
