Finally, a rare sighting of the elusive "cabinet grand"?
What do snowflakes and Chickerings have in common? There are no two exactly alike!

Actually, the Hardman Grand Piano on that Craigslist page would be a good deal for a spectacular piano.

I saw that one! the 1895? I'm not very familiar with the brand but that seems a tad aged, LOL.  The music desk is pretty!

Finally, a rare sighting of the elusive "cabinet grand"? Unceremoniously tossed to the curb, LOL! WHO DOES THIS??? Surely they can't expect the trash collectors to take this??

I thank God I’m not the budding musician that has to practice on that! And so many PW members scoff at Asian pianos. We just don’t appreciate how fortunate/blessed/lucky we truly are.

As my daughters would say, I know, right? Do they really think someone is going to spot and pick up a piano on the curb?   "Let me stop, grab it, and throw it in the back of my minivan!" My guess is that you are right about the trash collectors! It's probably been out there a while already, and the owner has realized the trash service will not take it. They are trying to entice someone into coming to take it away. Anyway, if it's at all serviceable, it's sad to see it literally kicked to the curb.

And honestly, if it was ever playable, I doubt it would be now, since it's been cow-tipped. I can't imagine whoever didn't this got at least 4 friends together and gently lowered it onto its back. 😂😂😂

I think covered porch is "good condition," and garage would be "great condition!"
