Our piano has arrived. A week later than expected, but it’s here. When asked about the delay, the mover said “it was bigger than we’d expected, so it took longer than we expected.”
I’m wondering if maybe they had strapped it to their backs and hiked over the Rockies with it. No matter, it is here now.
We were actually pretty impressed by the movers. They got this 900+ pound piano off the truck, up two porch steps and into the house in just a couple of minutes. As they stood there catching their breath, one guy said, “There’s no air up here!” I can’t imagine the effort needed to move a piano at 6,500 feet above sea level!
They reassembled the legs and pedals and moved it into position, then one guy lifted it while the other slipped the cups under the wheels.
Pumpkin Girl and I are thrilled to have it. It looks great in our house and it sounds beautiful, even though it probably needs to be tuned. I have to say that I love this piano! My mom has been saving it for me, waiting for us to stop moving around. And now we have and here it is! I’m having fun playing it again and I’m working on getting a couple of my more impressive pieces back up to speed. And now I’ve got to find a piano teacher for Pumpkin.

Bravo! I can hardly wait to hear you play! The acoustics must be completely different with your vaulted ceiling, giving your piano a ?richer sound.
It’s gorgeous! I’m glad you finally have it!
LOVE your new look! And the piano is gorgeous! Glad it didn’t take as long as Lewis and Clark to cross the Rockies.
Ohhhh Lorri! It is beautiful. Maybe someday I will get to hear you play. We’re taking good care of your “old” piano. We love it and are so grateful. Also, gotta say I love your new blog design.
Yay! It looks great! I’m sure you’re loving the sound.
