New Piano

This week has been something else! It seems we picked the week to do everything that's been on our to-do list this week. About a month ago Adam handed me a box of tools and said, "Sell these on ebay, they are tools that I don't need/use anymore". I just got around to putting them on ebay Saturday night. 


I haven't heard anything from the FAA yet, but if/when we do, I wasn't going to take our piano with us. It's just too much to move around so often. So, I posted it on craigslist and with
in 1.5 hours I got a call about it. Then about an hour after that I got another call. The first guy came to see the piano that night with his family (nice family too) and he took it. Yipee! This piano has been around a while, and around the globe. I remember using
 this piano to practice when I wasn't even a teenager yet. I will miss it. 

However, I had to sell the piano and Adam's tools so we would have enough money to get me a digital piano! It's a Yamaha CLP-230. 
We picked it up on Wednesday. I wanted a CLP-240 (at least) and that's what I thought I was getting. But, Miss I-don't-pay-attention-to-details (except at work apparently) didn't notice the actual model number on the piano. Adam had mentioned it talking about the polish but it went right over my head. Needless to say I was a  little bummed to think I was getting a CLP-240 and find out (after we already gave the guy cash and were on our way home with the piano) I got a 230. Even so it's a nice piano. A little low on oomph in the speaker department but sounds great with headphones. I'll still be on the look out for the piano I'd like to have and when I find it I'm sure we can sell this one for at least what we paid for it,  perhaps a little more!
