I spent many a year thumping out "Do, Re, Mi" on summer days. Though I still can't play. (I only made it through a few lessons)
There was only one big problem with this particular piano. The ugliest mustard yellow this side of the Mason Dixon.
I worked for ages inside on the main body of it, but could no longer stand the stench. (yes, all doors were open and a fan going) Even with a "Non- Toxic" brand, it was enough. So I took the baseboard outside and set to.
Several hours and around 5 chapters of "Lorna Doone" on Librivox, and this is where I sit. The most gorgeous finish I've ever seen! What do you think?
I'm nowhere near done, but it's a start!
