Last Sunday — 12/5 — around 8:30 in the morning Facebook Marketplace suggested a post with the title “Free Antique Piano Must Go by 12/4”.

Already a day late, and as free made a dollar short quite improbable, I messaged an only slightly longer version of “I can be there in an hour if you can help load”.

By 10 AM this beautiful 1894 Voss & Sons piano was on my trailer and roughly 800lbs later it was resting nicely in our living quarters.
