my father in law got a new home, and the piano he got in 1978 had to go according to his wife

he called and said I was the only one to touch over the past 15 years and he asked if he could drop it off at my house. it had been hit with a baseball bat more times than it had been played. several keys did not work and two of the pedals did not work, but I said hell yes!!!

I took it apart and fixed the pedals, the keys had coins stuck between them and after a week it was working like a charm, but not tuned since 1978.

So I googled piano tuners in my city, and found a guy who just moved to town from Long Island and said thats the guy.

He came and said the insides looked new and it sounds new now. I love it. Anyway I looked up the tuner after he left and discovered he was the piano player for some guitarist named "Esteban" The Wurlitzer is back from the dead

I always had one in the home as a kid, and have wanted one since I moved out in 1994.
