Two Announcements

Starter piano open house, Sunday June 7th 2-3 p.m at 784 Kevin Drive [near Oakland Park Nursery and Rt 71], the home of Bill Davis of Davis Piano Movers. Refreshments served.

Often people purchasing a new piano ask this local piano mover to throw away their old one. He loves pianos and can’t bring himself to take them to a landfill, but his home is now FILLED with them! Two OMTA teachers evaluated each instrument, playing each note and testing each pedal. Unless noted, all work. Unattractive keys can be replaced with new plastic covers.

He is selling these pianos as is. They are starter pianos, not warrantied. But those of you playing on digital pianos would find it so much easier to play legato, to balance melody and accompaniment, or to contrast articulation and dynamics on these sturdy older acoustic pianos. Your technique should improve when you play with the stiffer action of an acoustic, as well. Mr. Davis will sell AND TRANSPORT these pianos for these low prices, making them virtually free. Otherwise he plans to convert them to desks, aquariums or other creative purposes as many of them have beautiful cabinets. But he would prefer students to enjoy them. (He will move the pianos at this price to any first floor location involving just a few steps and no right angle turns, inside or close to 270. Tricky moves will cost a little bit more, say $25, as he can determine from discussing your home floorplan and location with you.)

First are two small consoles, lighter weight and newer, for $300 each:

1. Kincaid console. Broken (jury-rigged) music rack, but keys and all pedals in good shape. The front legs were damaged but repaired. Includes a bench.

2. Cable console. Keys are in bad shape in the bass but most sound nice. Includes a bench.

Next are 6 larger and older studio pianos for $200 each

3. Yellow studio 4′5″ with yellow bench. Good condition. The more important sustain and una corda pedals work, but the sostenuto pedal is broken.

4. Attractive Bennett studio with ribbons carved in dark wood. Missing 2 ivory keys. No bench. Two keys don’t work ( F5 # and I think F4 #). Missing soft pedal (una corda). Sustain (damper) pedal works. Sostenuto pedal head is present but not functioning.

5. Unadorned studio piano with flat cabinet and no bench. The sostenuto pedal does not work, but the damper and soft pedals have some function.

6. White studio upright with carvings, bench, and a plug, perhaps for a humidifier. The sostenuto pedal doesn’t work. The sustain and soft pedal work but squeak.

7. Studio piano with lovely light wood carving on beautiful case. The keys are in nasty shape but you could add new key covers.

8. Schaff Bros. studio. The key covers are in bad shape: some ivories are missing. A cluster of keys near middle C sound muffled. Burle wood, inlaid cabinetry. The pedals need work.

The Columbus Academy is in need of an accompanist for two upcoming musicals. Rehearsals are after school beginning at 3:30. The first, The Secret Garden is scheduled for the last weekend in January. We need an accompanist everyday after school beginning Monday, January 5. There is also a Sunday dress rehearsal and a Thursday afternoon matinee the week of
the show. The second show is Fiddler on the Roof and is scheduled for the first weekend in May. Again, rehearsals are after school. We will do a Thursday evening show of Fiddler, rather than an afternoon matinee. Fees are negotiable, based upon how much time is given, but we can pay the going rate. If you are interested please contact me.
