I decided that with a house move on the cards I would lose my old upright piano, which I love (but mainly for its walnut case). It would be a pain to shift, and cost extra.
My daughter has offered me her digital one, which has had to go and live in her cold garage for reasons of space, and which she doesn't have time to play. This is good (from my point of view). Also, the EFDSS have been asking if people have old, usable pianos to donate. I don't play very well, but my girls aren't bad, and I want my grandchildren to be able to have a hands-on with one.

I have been wondering whether to bite the bullet and get the floors excavated out after all, otherwise I am going to have a problem with floor levels. My daughter says to just put it on the market, warts and all! I'll have a word with the surveyor, and see what he thinks. It won't be done until at least April, anyway.
