Description
Post from Crtney on Facebook Marketplace for a free Yamaha baby grand piano. She then gave “her sister’s email address” she said she had posted it for her. Here is the email response back. Yes, it is still available. The piano used to be owned and played by my husband, who is now deceased, and it was last tuned in September last year before he passed away. I am almost done moving my properties, and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell his piano. At the same time, I am not happy seeing it around because of the little storage I have in my new house. I'm hoping to give it out to someone passionate about the instrument, someone who will take care of it. I would be more than happy to give it to you, for the sake of your son. I know the piano will be in good hands and will be taken care of and my husband will be happy wherever he is at the moment. The first lady I thought would get it didn't show up as she promised, and I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house. It's currently going to be with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house, which is on the move. If you don't mind making new arrangements with the movers, I can attempt to get in touch with them to reroute it; this should not attract too many charges since the distance can be recovered within a day or two. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but do let me know if you wish that I get through to the movers. Just so you know, I'm not giving out scrap or waste. It’s in good shape. Thank you, Dr Erica. She then gave a website and contact information for the “movers” who wanted money before moving the “free” piano.
