Free Baby Grand Piano

It is old but still has a few good years left. It is on the third floor of the house and will need a crane to remove it. The good news is that with some construction contacts that is probably not a problem. Getting it to and into a new owner’s house will be their responsibility.
If you or anyone you know is interested, you may call Tim at 957-0271 or Heather at 321-0054.
