Dear all,
I’m delighted to share a generous offer from one of our retired colleagues, Mr. Levi Anderson. He is seeking a new home for his beautifully maintained Yamaha C7 (7'2") Concert Grand Piano.
This outstanding instrument features a black satin finish, a Dampp-Chaser humidity control system, an artist’s bench, and a full piano cover. It has been professionally stored for over a year following the passing of Mr. Anderson’s father.
Though the piano remains in excellent condition and offers superb sound quality, Mr. Anderson hopes it will be enjoyed by someone with a deep appreciation for music—whether a seasoned musician or a passionate learner.
If you’re interested in giving this remarkable piano a new home, please contact Mr. Anderson directly at [REDACTED] using your personal email. The new owner will be responsible for arranging delivery with the storage facility.
Warm regards,
[REDACTED]
