On Friday we got a piano from our dear friends who are leaving Taiwan. We paid only for the cost of moving it, which was 2,000NT$. The piano was completely free. And tonight I heard the story that goes to this old piano. It was in a church for more than 20 years, used to bless the congregation as many pianists played a variety of hymns on it throughout the years. When the church moved, they decided to give this old piano away and that's when it ended up in our friends' home. The strings and the pads are so old they didn't think it was worth repairing. She had it tuned when it was moved to her house and the piano tuner said, "It's not worth tuning as you're not going to get any better sound from it." She needed a piano to practice on as she was serving as a pianist at a Korean church. Now that she was leaving, it would be so sad to just trash it. But she warned us that the sound was not precise and can't be tuned. Abby played on it at her home and we decided to take it. Well, it seems to like our home as it sounds wonderful. Yes, there are a few notes that at times seem to have an extra TWANG. But my kids are enjoying this old piano. And Alan and I love listening to them as they play.
Seek Him First!
