The grand is in bad shape. It's sitting at a thrift = store. I've been using it as a practice tuning piano. It sounds pretty = good all considering. It has several notes that don't play. one where = the key feels like it won't budge or depress. Another where you can play = it, and then it won't sound again. the hammers stay up. It needs some = new strings I'm sure proabalby all new strings, tuning pins tightened = plus a good refinishing job. They want 550$ for it. I'd give them 300$ = for it if I had the room.
