Since I totally respect this group I have to ask the question. Does anyone have any ideas they wouldn't mind sharing here?


Cool story...

What is the status of the piano now? Were the guts ever re-installed and if so is it still playable?

I'll bet that the piano could be auctioned off to some movie buff, maybe even a piano playing one.

Does Clint Eastwood need a piano these days?

You should have demonstrated that piano when I was in your shop, Rich. It would have been a lot lighter for going up the stairs! Was there a bullet-hole discount?

My piano doesn't have any slugs in it, but one of my tuxes has 2, 22 cal holes in the rear. Nobody can see it onstage. My neighbors can hear me playing the piano and I put a Colt 45 auto on the right side of the music rack when playing, just in case. (they don't like my tune "Go Tell Aunt Rhody" LOL!

Just for fun, here is a cool image of the actual piano in our warehouse. Notice the .22 caliber bullets are still in the piano lid:

Rich, they need to offer a Kevlar piano cover for rough neighborhoods.
