Our New Addition!

No, I didn't just have another baby. But our new "addition" is almost as good! We just moved in my grandmother's beautiful Kawai studio grand piano to our house! My grandmother (the one whom I'm named after) passed away in July. The piano belonged to her and ever since I began taking lessons at age 5, I always looked forward to playing it when we'd take our annual vacations to Utah. I have so many sweet memories associated with this piano and with my grandmother!

I was a little nervous when I saw the piano movers bringing it down the ramp. They said that this piano wasn't nearly as heavy as some of the other ones the same size, though. I'm glad at least they were confident and knew what they were doing.



Almost there...


A tight corner...


Removing it from the glorified skateboard...


Putting the legs on and lifting it up! That's gotta do some not-so-good things to your back after a while!


Attaching the pedals & a few last adjustments...


And...Ta Da!
I love it!!! I played it ALL day today! I'm a little rusty, but I'm hoping to remedy that. :)

  2. It is so neat that you got your grandma Jelaire's piano. Now, we expect majestic compositions and melodious vocals! Or, we would just love listening to you play.
