Looking Ahead

FREE PIANO

FREE piano notice from Gina Edwards. I have an old high school friend who had a death in the family and now has a piano they don’t want. It is free, just someone needs to pick it up if they want it. Maybe someone at the school would like it? I don’t know what shape it is, but 2 months ago I played on it and it for sure needs tuned, but I don’t recall if there were any other issues with it. If there are, most issues can be fixed by a piano tuner. The body seemed to be in good shape. For those interested, call Craig Danzer at 417-496-5907.
