Description

Second hand piano offered for free claiming it belonged to a dead spouse and wanted a good home but needed to pay movers fees. Email chain here: From 24 November I sincerely apologize for the delayed response; I’ve been occupied with parking. I've spoken with the movers, the representative recommended that you connect with an agent through the live chat on their website at https://www.nationalamericanlogistics.com to initiate the reroute. Provide the Referral ID: KP23101DWF and mention that Dr Katherine referred you. Please keep me posted on how things progress with the movers. I’d also appreciate it if you could take a few pictures once the piano arrives at your home and send them to me.

I will hope to hear from you by end of today but if not I will move forward with another seller I was in contact with. I have also messaged your facebook market place contact to try and reach you. Please make contact - all my previous emails from this week are below. Thank you. On 19 Nov 2024, at 07:29, **** ***** <> wrote: ? Dear Katherine, Very much hope to hear from you today. Just combining my two emails of yesterday. Firstly, Thank you for what feels like an incredibly generous offer. Incredibly generous. We are so touched by this gesture of you wanting to keep the music playing and accessible to the youth. I am really delighted you are interested in us taking custody of your piano. We feel it would be prudent to have one of our musicians just come by and briefly play it if possible - before we arrange to move forward and pay the movers to deliver. I don’t want to make a problem for you, as i’m sure you have many things to organise, but we would like to test it very much before committing. Would this be possible? We could visit the movers facility perhaps? Also for your movers information - Our address is **** ********* *** *** *****. - please tell them our double front doors 60” wide total, and ask them if the legs come off to get it in side ways?! Look forward to hearing from you, **** Begin forwarded message: From: **** ***** <> Date: 18 November 2024 at 12:34:15 GMT-5 To: Katherine Lynn Fuller Subject: Re: ******** Gallery - piano search ?

Model: M ( Medium) Year: 2006 Serial number 574706. If you're interested in it. Could you please share your address and phone number so I can pass it along to them to plan the route and calculate the cost? I also want to inform you that they require payment before delivery, as it's their policy to collect payment upfront to cover expenses related to disassembling and assembling the piano, delivery, and insurance. The charges should be minimal since I've already covered the main costs, you’ll only need to pay the difference.

Before being able to comment and ask you to speak to your movers, are you able to give me a little more on the model, as we have a size issue and am concerned what you have which I think is a full Grand - may be too big without us removing windows. If you can give me the model I can check the size on the internet. Warm wishes for your evening, **** **** A ***** Currently in Washington DC On 17 Nov 2024, at 14:24, Katherine Lynn Fuller <> wrote: ? Hello ****, Thank you for your interest in the piano. The Steinway belonged to my late husband, who played it as recently as February before his passing. While I’m in the process of moving my belongings, I know my husband, with his deep love and attachment to the instrument, wouldn’t have wanted it to be sold. I’m hoping to pass it on to someone who shares his passion for music and has a genuine love for the piano. The first person I had in mind unfortunately didn’t follow through, and since I don’t intend to sell it, the piano is currently with the movers handling my relocation. However, if you’re interested, I can try to arrange for the movers to reroute it to you. It shouldn’t incur too much additional cost, as the distance can be covered within a day or two. Please let me know if you would like me to reach out to the movers. Just so you know, the piano is in excellent condition,it’s far from being something discarded or wasted On Sun, 17 Nov 2024, 3:08 pm **** *****, <> wrote: ? Summary: We are looking to give a loved piano a good home surrounded by art and appreciation. Dear Katherine, I have been past your address by someone on facebook where your piano was advertised. My name is **** ***** and I am working with ***** *********, owner of ******** Gallery of **********. ***** has been in business here in D.C. since 1973 and during the summer we repainted and rehung the three story corner property on P Street and have started hosting some charity fundraising events within the gallery spaces. We have been borrowing key boards and pianos which are then played by professional musicians and piano students from Howard University. We have been inspired to find a piano to live with us after taking advice from a wonderful pianist called Dr ******* ******** (a nice story here if you can access instagram). ***** and I also have two young children who are nearly old enough to learn, and hope we will also be able to use this instrument to bring music into their lives. My contact details are below (we are currently setting up a new website and emails hence my using my personal email). I am very happy to speak on the phone or invite you to the gallery to see the space. If we were to move forward - we would want to visit the instrument with one of our regular student musicians to just check it out - as you know, specialist moving costs for such an instrument are significant and we have to be certain it will fit (!) and work for us. If you google @lenfantgallery instagram you can see more images of the spaces. The size would depend if we can get it up the stairs or not. Very much look forward to hearing from you,
