Our 1917 Steinway A grand piano (6’-4" long). DH’s piano teacher bought it new in San Francisco. She left it to him even though he had switched from playing piano to classical guitar. I had played seriously all the way through high school and considered majoring in piano performance (but didn’t because I knew I wasn’t good enough to have a career). It’s the family joke that I married DH for his piano. No comment…
In 2020, we had it refurbished - cost more than a very nice car would have, but we felt obligated because it was no longer tunable. DD still plays a lot, so the piano is written into our will as part of her inheritance.
One of my main regrets in life is not playing enough, so my New Year’s Resolution will be to change that! I have good motivation - there is a Steinway store in Warsaw and my daughter played on one of the pianos when she was there recently, and I want to do the same in May.
