| Okay! Thanks for the private message!
Is the piano in tune? And, has it been tuned on a regular basis? |

| It isn't in tune now. The family I bought it from said it hadn't been tuned for about 2 years. |

| Okay, so I am assuming that it can be tuned. But, it is hard to really determine that without actually hearing it. Two years ago is not an ideal length of time between tunings, but it isn't all that long ago either.
Do you or someone else in your home play the piano? The reason that I'm asking is, if someone has played it since it was moved, do the pieces that are played on it sound reasonably good? |

| Yes, I play. The sound is great, all keys work. Just very out of tune. |

Good! I'm glad that you play!
Does it have all of the original parts that you can tell, as far as the strings and hammers? |

| The music I have played sounds really bad. Like I have the pedal held down, it all blends together. |
