Three Player Pianos For Sale, in N. Florida
By David Campbell

all three pianos located Gainesville, north-central Florida, USA

•one:   Shaw (of Baltimore) serial #26018, made (supposedly) in 1913.
       present location: Mac computer room

two:   Webster (of New York) serial #22830, made (yr unknown-1925 or
       thereabouts) present location: in my garage

three: Schaeffer (of Chicago) serial #60134, made (yr unknown-1925 or
       thereabouts) present location: right rear corner, my Alachua shop
       (Alachua is the next town north of Gainesville)

•and

a late Victorian era "Orchestral Grand" upright _non_ player piano. Made
by Richards and Co, New York, serial number 11227. This piano is in a
"semi-elaborate" carved case, though NOT extensively hand carved or of any
rare "exotic" wood type. Wood type unknown (assume to be veneered
something/is heavily painted flat black and then "spatter painted" white
over that, as was the suburban "fashion" at that time). Has original
ivories as well, and is "all there". Other than the (somewhat bizarre)
paintwork, this piano appears to never have been "clobbered" by amateurs.
Present location: Alachua shop

Note, all four of these pianos are located in or within 15 miles of
Gainesville, north central Florida, _very_ near I-75, which is the major
north/south Interstate highway route through Florida....

will sell any (or all) of pianos listed above for cash, _or_ trade them
for Mac computer stuff, bigger monitor, nice printer, a new(er) CPU, or
Chinese rug(s), old sports car(s), woodworking machinery, new mechanic's
rollaway toolboxes, or, well, whatever doesn't eat, smell, or make
noise...  I'm "pretty dern flexible"...

have small electric forklift at "my end", so lifting & loading here
present no particular problem...

Thank you,

David
