Piano for free

Whitney Kimball spinet piano Nice white keys and handsome pecan wood. Looking for a new home where it will be played and will give joy.

Original (one) owner: Purchased in Charlottesville in 1978 for $1200 (only mentioning the price for comparison to pianos today). Purchase papers available. The soundboard had a 75-year warranty to original owner.

Dimensions: 56.25” long x 24.75” deep x 37” high.

Tuning: All tuners have remarked on the fine sound it has and how well it tunes. The piano went without tuning from 1981 to 1994 and was able to be brought back into tune. Now the piano has not been tuned since 2001, which is a very long time. It may take several annual tunings to come fully back into tune.

Placement: Of its 42 years, most were spent against an inside wall, except for ten years spent on an east-facing outside wall.

Piano Bench: Not included.

Current residence: Georgetown Road area of Albemarle County

Moving: new owner does the moving. Piano rolls on its castors. Piano is on first floor of home, with three outside steps to get inside.
