This week a new, old piano came to live with us. It was given to us by an elderly music teacher who was sad to give it up but happy to know that it would be enjoyed by our family. It's a 3/4 upright and has a fuller, richer sound than my old 1/2 upright. I find it charming and LOVE the flowered designs carved into the wood all around the top. There's a marking on the inside that says 6/18/52 which I'm guessing is when it was made.
The piano's arrival has resurrected by desire to play though I know just a bit - my beginner's book of hymns has been dug out and the evenings find me at the piano for awhile. In the fall, it will be played even more as I plan to ask a young woman from our church to give her in-your-own-home lessons to Eli to supplement what I've taught him.
"Trust and Obey" never sounded so sweet.

We have an old upright too. I love them. The wood carvings are so pretty. I can't play but love hearing my girls play it. I hope Eli enjoys it a lot, too.
What a lovely addition to your home. I hope you all have many hours of enjoyment from your new piano.
