I just won a piano for $10

octatonic · 8th May 2006

Ebay is amazing sometimes.
I just won this piano for around ten dollars.
Apparently it is from 1898.
It is only about 20 miles away from me also.
Stoked!

Has it got any keys ?

PlugHead · 8th May 2006

It'll cost you more in beer to get some buddies to help you move it!

Congrats! I hope it plays and most importantly, sounds great! thumbsup

Oh you cynics!

This is Switzerland- people wouldn't dare break the law here. :-) :-)

No, I spoke to the chap- he is glad to be getting shot of it- I just need an upright for the odd acoustic recording.

At 10 francs, I think I can risk it anyway.

Update:

LOL... the owner has refused payment.
What I mean is he doesn't want any money for it- granted 10chf is a bit of a wate of time sending over- anyway the piano mover is booked for Friday.
That alone is $200- so it isn't like it is free, but pretty happy over all.

Last update-

It's here- it plays, but needs a bit of a tune.
I've looked it up- it was made in 1898 in Bern, Switzerland.
Needs to be refinished- a fw scratches and such- but... WOW!

Nice! Congrats!

Congradulations. Piano's rock. Few instruments are such a pleasure to just sit in a nice room and play. So many overtones...

Have fun - maybe upload a MP3 once you get it up and running.

Plug is right. I helped my friend move his two pianos, one of them twice! That was last summer and I still pull out my piano-moving trump card.

"Man, I am out of cash and need another pint. Remember when I helped you move those pianos last summer?"
