by the Indonesian Military,

TRENTON & CAROLINE BUY ANTIQUE PIANO
 PIANO
IN TRENTON & CAROLINE'S HOUSE IN ST KILDA MELBOURNE
FROM TRENTON: Dear John, The Piano is
a Hapsburg, But I don't think its German, because it looks like it was
made in the 20s and all the Hapsburgs were dead by then. Underneath the
Hapsburg it has written Beale and Company so I tend to think its English.
The frame is all steel the first thing I looked at, it hasn't been tuned
for 9 years and still sounds pretty good. Yes Carolyn can play and after
6 months I will probably want to throw it out the window, but for now it's
great. |
